Wordless Wednesday - Take Four

Let's just say the written word is mostly wordless here. But not the sung word! This is Take Four, an a cappella singing group in that performed at the recent Irish flag raising in Ansonia (CT). And later, at a restaurant that a corned beef lunch provided by the city. Lots of green and cool tunes on a beautiful day! See NC Sue for more...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Raising o' the flag

The Irish flag that is. Shadow Shot Sunday 2 reappears after St. Patrick's Day and the raising of the Irish Flag in Ansonia last week. Here is the Irish Mayor for the Day, 'Doc' Ennis along with Maror Cassetti raising the Irish flag in front of City Hall. Looking on is Father Sullivan (of Irish descent of course:) looking on. Plenty of shadows that appeared under a brilliant blue March sky. A blessed day for all!

May the sun always shine on your windowpane 

          May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

           May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you! 

SOOC - Irish Dance

I am back this week for the great photo meme Straight out of the Camera - SOOC, and the pictures were taken today. Our small city of Ansonia Connecticut had the raising of he Irish flag. It is held the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day, and the sun was shining as as said in a famous Irish Blessing. One of the treats is the dancers from the Mulkerin School of Irish Dance. The style , grace and precision of the students is wonderful to behold, so I am using two pics of their performance SOOC with nary a crop - the kelly green outfits and their smiles allow for a great entrance to Spring in New England!

I was even able to capture a short video (0:24) with my point and shoot!
