The last Friday in June is here, and today's prompt for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup is the 26th letter of the alphabet. With a quick look through the photo archive, I think I found a few...
'Z' here is a temperature Below Zero. This is Grandpa in a cold Fargo North Dakota around Christmas Time 1970. This temp is in Fahrenheit and -4°F (-20°C) which is cold to me in any climate...
These are views of the Leonard Zakim Memorial Bridge (routes I-93 and US-1) over the Charles River in Boston. Opened in 2003, this bridge is not only stylish, it has been designed to withstand a hurricane winds in excess of 200 MPH (325 kPH)! Note the offset towers in the top photo.
This rates amongst my favorite fried doughs, these Zeppoles for desert. Paired with an espresso, the blend of caramel, chocolate and fried dough are a heavenly end to a meal!
Does anybody else remember Mr. Zip, the character who promoted the US Zip Code switchover in 1963-64? He is quite winsome...
A Favorite and another 'Z', that being Buzz! The always lovely Patti captured this busy and buzzy bumblebee hard at work gathering pollen recently. Have a great week all!
...Ralph, Z is such a hard letter, but you ZIPPY through it is style!!! I'm never ready for below ZERO temperatures! The Leonard ZAKIM bridge sure is jaZZy. I could make a meal out of those ZEPPOLES! Mr ZIP is neat and it's nice to see the license plates along with the signs. Have a BUZZINGLY great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePatti and I were on the same page photographing the BUZZING Bee. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteRalph, these are super nice Z's for the end of this Alphabet series. I learned and memory jogged through your entire post. We have a similarly constructed bridge over our Houston Ship Channel down at Baytown, it is lighted gold at night and is very pretty. The channel is the former Buffalo Bayou dredged out even through the bay waters. There are three bridges, one tunnel, and one ferry crossing to cross. Coming up from Galveston it is 50 miles long and all is a part of the Port of Houston.
ReplyDeleteI have not been knowing of Zeppoles nor Mr. ZIP. I have not eaten a donnut for 17 years but i do like Apple Fritters (Alphabet starting end vs. the Zeppole finnisher) and Kolaches.
Have a nice weekend and Stay Safe.
