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!

The Weekend Roundup 'F'

It is a cold Saturday, so this inside dweller is ready for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. The archives  have been searched and subjects, so let's begin...

Beginning with 'F' includes In-Flight. It was Dec. 1980 and I was going to Florida. Here is a view out he window of a Delta L-1011 winging toward West Palm Beach. Note the Rolls-Royce engine...

Another view In-Flight is on the way home of the same trip on a very early morning flight on Jan. 2, 1981. The sun is rising over the starboard wing of a Delta 727 after leaving Atlanta. The scanned print is a bit pixelated - but the colors are still vibrant!

How about First Day of school? Here is 1997 as the neighborhood children await the school bus. Our daughter is far left (3rd grade) and son is third from left (1st grde)

A favorite are these birds that the always lovely Patti captured recently. We don't know what they are, but they look great in their gold trim. Have a great week all!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Jersey Shore Redux

The strong norther sun of Summer allows for interesting shadows in many places. For me, the New Jersey shore family vacations of decades pas...
