Friday Hunt, 2016.2-6

It is Friday, and the day for a favorite meme, Friday Hunt, kindly hosted by Teresa. The examples have been noted and the photo archives checked and I am ready:

Starts with E. I have three unique examples that exemplify the letter. On top is a Villers family pic, that being Easter Sunday 1969, and we lived in East Hartford, CT (check out the styles of the day, especially the hair :)

A ‘gunsight’ fender ornament on a 1959 Edsel Corsair - in 1960, its failure caused Ford Motor Co. to lose $250 million, about $2.3 billion (!) in today's money...

Another example, an Egg in the shape of an Elipse

Week's Favorite, which is groundhog that found our patio in this grainy pic (taken though a window and screen). Why he/she was in a suburban neighborhood? Perhaps lured by our mulberry tree…

Bounce. This is an inflatable bounce house/slide at a June street fair in our neighbor to the north, Seymour CT. These items made for another great hunt this week!

Friday Hunt, 2016-22

Teresa’s fun meme Friday Hunt is back! The themes are here and I thought a trip back in time for two of the themes might be in order…

Starts with V. Of course, I’ll use my last name which is Villers. It is the family name, and my photo entries take us back to the past where myself and my sisters and brother, all seven of us are shown. The first pic is from the Spring of 1969 in front of our East Hartford CT home. I (in the jacket) and two sisters are in Catholic school uniforms. And two wore plaid skirts at that same school

The second photo is from 1987 at my sister’s wedding. She was an officer in the USAF, as was the groom, so she wore her officer dress uniform instead of in white - and quite classy. This the last pic of all seven. Two have passed since then, so it is a great pic to remember us all by…

Week's Favorite. Patti was at a BMX bicycle stunt show at Seymour Middle School last week. Here, an Assistant Principal sits calmly under the performer as he jumps over her. I don’t think they were all that close. However, I am not going to test my theory…

Sunshine. This is another old print from November 1981. Here is a mid-Autumn sunset taken (as a passenger :) on the I-90 Mass. Turnpike between Boston and Worcester, the print taken with a simple 50mm Canon rangefinder. This all shows that given enough light, any camera will do…
