Shadow Shot Sunday - Seymour Farmers Market






Shadow Shot Sunday and Seymour make for an alliterative lede for our shadowy meme today. The always lovely Patti and I traveled to our neighbor to the North, Seymour and its Farmers Market. The Gazy Brothers Farm from Oxford CT sold the fruits and vegetables, a bakery and other vendors had items for sale on this hot but not humid day. The freshness of the day won us over...

Friday Hunt, 2016-08


We are back to Teresa's fun photo meme Friday Hunt. For this week, the themes: Starts with 'H', Week's Favorite and Family


  • Starts with H: How about Horse? These equines were seen in 2014 at Locket’s Meadow Farm in Bethany, Connecticut. This farm offers a refuge for formerly neglected and abused horses, and these were gentle giants. Yes, this one is happily taking a gift of turf grass from the little girl

  • Week's Favorite: The always lovely Patti prepared a Valentine’s Day treat, homemade donuts! There is a difference in these pastries between the usual donut shop and these fabulous examples of fried dough, and what donut seller presents their holiday wares this nicely
  • Family: I offer an oft used picture of our family on the first day of school 1996. Our daughter about to begin third grade, our son first grade, both at Mead School in Ansonia. We are at the bus stop, doting parents and our then cute (and now grown) kids…

SOOC - Barnyard in 1992









The idea of unmodified pics is nice, the look at a particular subject frozen in place and time is a great idea. So for this week's version of Straight out of-the Camera - SOOC, I offer a twist. 


I found a couple of prints from the summer of 1992. I believe the place is a farm in the neighboring town of Seymour that our children, aged 4 and 2, and these old prints scanned  quite well. I assume the kids liked the views of the animals in their young minds...

SOOC - Grand Opening








Straight out of he Camera - SOOC takes us this week across the Housatonic River to a new restaurant, GROW, a farm-to-table eatery in Shelton, CT. This eatery grew from the ashes of the downtown fixture (since 2004) Liquid Lunch, damaged in a fire last year. 

The restaurant will support local farms (Stone Gardens Farm, Beardsley Orchard, Jones Family Farm, and Farmers Cow Dairy) in its retro cool and stylish interior. Need another visit!
