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! 

Harvest Festival is Saturday - Let's Look Back to 2017!

The Valley-Voice Newsletter is taking a look back at the Ansonia Harvest Festivals from the past. Here is a look at the 2017 event. It may have been overcast - but still a wonderful event! Link: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/329bf6_834a12576fed4b3b8d36942522b04b66.pdf

Shadow Shot Sunday - Mum is the word...

We look for the shadowy underworld (in this case, literally :) here, there and just about everywhere! Here are mums with color under a beautiful autumnal day in Southern New England. Sunflower Farm in nearby Orange, CT is full of these beauties Since we never know when the frost will arrive, we savor these days. Shadow Shot Sunday 2 seems the perfect place to see bold hues and shadows too!

The Weekly Roundup 'L'

It’s time for a favorite site, Tom’s fun meme The Weekend Roundup. The twelfth letter of the alphabet is featured, and I am taking a couple of liberties but do think the theme is maintained :)

Beginning with ‘L’ is the Latex Foam Products. Of greater importance was the fire and leveling of the Latex Foam Products facility on Ansonia’s West Main Street, May 14, 2001. We found these prints last year. Today, Latex Foam Products in a facility in nearby Shelton. The black smoke is seen over our hilltop home and seen as far as 15 miles / 24 Km away. (Publication links are live)

Another ‘L’ is Big Stony Lake near Park Rapids, Minnesota. This 1981 scanned print is my waterskiing cousin.

The third 'L' is HRH Linus, our fluffy family feline. Perhaps he is getting ready to destroy the village - but not really as he is a) Too lazy and b) actually likes sitting on the abrasive ‘snow’ instead. Good kitty! 

Finally, this is my favorite, a Lady Cardinal. Patti captured her yesterday after the left eggshells on a patio table for our avian friends. A few cardinals arrived to take part. Have a great week all!
