The Weekend Roundup - 'N'

It has been a cold (to me) Saturday, so I am inside and ready to visit Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. The subject letter leads to many a unique possibility...

Beginning with 'N' can mean New York City. Here is Dad, in Manhattan's Times Square (top) and on the dock - perhaps behind him is either the Staten Island Ferry or a Circle Line tour boat. This is in the Summer of 1939.

Here is the borough of Manhattan in New York City in more recent times.

Horses go Neigh, and the riders are Neighborly as they wave to the reviewing stand at the Ansonia Memorial Day parade, 2015.

A Favorite. Patti captured this look at the sky. What endears it to me is its changing perspectives; I see the tide rolling at the beach (from above) or a towering mountain ridge (from below). Or whatever we think it can be. Have a great week all!

The Weekly Roundup 'M'

Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup returns for the week. I have searched the archives and this week's letter has lots of choices, so here's mine...

Starts with ’M’ begins with Manhattan in New York City, Easter Sunday 1961. Here is my dad and aunt Terry standing on a balcony showing the skyline. In the distance and I believe we see the construction of the iconic Pan Am (now Met Life) building, opened in 1963.

The restored Derby (CT) Civil War Monument looks resplendent in the cold yet beautiful Winter sky, taken this past January.

The restored Charles Morgan whaling ship is a main attraction at the Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT. It is a great attraction! Photo taken in 1986.

A Favorite. The always lovely Patti captured this wonderful scene on the Derby CT town green! I cannot explain what it is, but the berries, flags and deep blue sky is great! Have a great weekend all!
