The Weekend Roundup 'X'

Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup has as it's prompt this week that unusual letter 'X' which offers challenges but I managed to find an excellent 'X' and I'm stretching the letter to use for another...

Here is a pair of the 24th letter of the alphabet. A commuter train passes Division St. in Derby, CT. If the gate doesn't get your attention, the Railroad Crossing 'X' signs should also help...

Now here are other uses of today's letter...Linus is X-tra tired and Rosa Mina in Ansonia serves up X-tra tasty food (with X-tra garlic too :)

Week's Favorite. We are at the confluence of the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers in Derby under the Route 8 Commodore Hull Bridge as the sunset blazes above. Have a great weekend and Father's Day!

The Weekend Roundup 'N'

Spring may be here, but not the sunshine on this cold rainy Friday - a perfect time for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. There are lots of ways to showcase the letter 'N', and here are my choices...

Here is New York City and this is Grandpa on Times Square. I believe this is New Year's Eve, either 1963 or 1964. Some readers probably remember the B.O.A.C. reference... 

Our furry, friendly, family feline Linus McDonald is a Nice fellow.

Back to New York City and a great picture taken by Allegra last summer of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge crossing the East River.

This is Night in NYC. I am driving and my passenger captured this view along the BQE (I-278) in Brooklyn.

A Favorite was taken by Patti this morning. It seems that these sparrows are posing for the photographer - and rather winsome at that. Have a great weekend all!
