Wordless Wednesday - Aerobatics on Wheels

Our city of Ansonia held its Pierre Lallement Bicycle Festival on Saturday. The Eastern Action BMX stunt team performed on Main Street. This rider was taken at the same time from two different perspectives - Patti and myself. He really sees to float through the air with the greatest of ease...see more WW at NC Sue!

Wordless Wednesday - Defying Gravity (and sense?)

These BMX stunt riders seem to ignore gravity as they float through the air with the greatest of ease (sort of), while performing at Seymour (CT) Middle School. Cooler than cool! See more WW at NC Sue!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Fraught with danger?



It has been a whole week, and time again for Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Last week, Teresa’s fun meme Friday Hunt is back! Patti attended a BMX bicycle stunt show at Seymour Middle School last week. Here, three of the school’s teachers are on the ground where one of the riders was going to ‘jump’ over these brave souls.

I suppose that the rider was going to perform his gravity defying jump sans ramps over the trio. However, he performed his leap - on his feet! No harm, no foul…


The story with more pics was published on our Valley-Voice newsletter on Monday. Should you go, happy reading!

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…

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…
