Shadow Shot Sunday - Gastronomic Shadows

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back a mere two days from Food Trucks in the Valley fundraiser in Shelton CT that we attended. So many food trucks to choose from it was hard to decide on what carb-laden comfort food would make a great meal - I chose a fabulous quesadilla from Ay Arepas  but whatever your choice, it was a great late Summer event for foodies and shadows - the always lovely Patti is in the crowd scene with her camera high while taking a panoramic shot of a happy crowd...

Wordless Wednesday -

For July 4, we see the American flag, resplendent in its red, white and blue hue placed upon the equally resplendent barn at the Jones Family Farm Winery nestled in the White Hills of Shelton CT...see more WW at NCSue

Wordless Wednesday - Capturing the Chevy (and myself)

At the Fathers' Day car show at the Shelton History Center, I was taken by this great 1951 Chevrolet pickup, its beautiful colors and the chrome hubcaps - that highlight the photographer...see more at NC Sue

Friday Hunt, 2016-23

It is Friday and time again for Teresa's fun meme Friday Hunt. We are given the clues and we look high and wide for pics that match. I think that I have!

Starts with 'W'. I have two, the left being the 1940 Whitestone Bridge, over the East River between Bronx and Queens NYC. To the right is the 1931 George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey.I've used pics of bothnumber of posts, but just love driving these 1930-40s soaring suspension bridges, although I leave the photo taking to the passenger :)

Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, I-678 South. Taken Oct.2014

George Washington Bridge, I-95 South. Taken August 2000

Week's Favorite: This is the entrance to the Derby Greenway which goes alongside the Naugatuck River. It looks so nice who wouldn't want to take a stroll?

Rough: I suppose that this view is more hard than rough, but the rocks along the banks of the Housatonic River in Shelton CT. I could make for a rough landing, although the ducks don't seem to mind...

Friday Hunt, 2016-21

I am back for this week’s version of Teresa’s fun meme, Friday Hunt. For the week of May 20th, we are given the clues to find our pics, which for me is an offbeat look at the late 1990’s

Starts with U, which means today Unterseeboot. These vacation pics were taken in August 1999 at the Submarine Museum on the grounds of the US Navy Sub Base in Groton CT. The German word for ‘submarine’ is Unterseeboot, underesa boat. Our children were aged 10 and 8 all those years ago…

Week's Favorite. Last week, a carnival was held in Shelton. The picture was taken in Derby, just across the Housatonic River. The colors fall nicely on the surface of the river.

In the morning. Yesterday morn, Patti captured our furry family feline Linus McDonald looking out the living room window. Perhaps he is looking for prey he’ll never meet given the panes of glass. Or he is sleeping with his head up and eyes closed…

Ruby Tuesday Too - Plumb Memorial Library

It is time for a post to the colorful meme Ruby Tuesday Too. And for me, the Plumb Memorial Library in nearby Shelton, Ct. I love the hints of red in its brick facade and tile roof in this 1894 gem. 

Don't be fooled by the foliage, it is not Spring yet - this shot was taken last September on a beautiful day. Happy RT Too!

Ruby Tuesday Too - Ruby Barn and Homestead

For this installment of Ruby Tuesday Too, our favorite color is on the object to our right periphery to find the classic barn. This is the home of the Shelton History Center (CT), the Brownson House built in 1822 and was moved to its present location in 1971. Our ruby is the Wilson Barn, built in 1860, the only building sitting where it was originally. What you don't see are the period artifacts inside the barn in a permanent exhibit inside. A nice mid-winter look at days past...

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!
