Capture the Flag

The kids love the game of Capture the Flag.

Some adults like the woman in red sneak into the game to relive memories of their youth.

An eagle also played.

 

Nothing like 90 minutes of running to have the kids sleep well.

Squam Lake

 Squam Lake is New Hampshire's second biggest lake, after Winnipesaukee, its big sister to the south.  It is where the classic movie On Golden Pond was filmed.  Unlike Winnipesaukee, there is very little development.  Most of the shoreline is protected with environmental covenants.

I am here for a week with my family, staying in this rustic cabin.  See the green ice chest?  No refrigerators.  

A young man comes every morning with ice blocks that were harvested from the lake in the winter.  Another young man fills the fireplace with logs and kindling.

Many families are fanatical about their summers on Squam Lake.  

I am a newcomer.  We first came here around 1990.

Bubbles

The July theme for City Daily Photo participants is "Bubbles."  Fortunately, I remembered a street performer in Rome in 2015 who captivated little kids (and me) with his bubble artistry.

Dream Inspire Justice

 

A mural by ARCY in Danbury's Kennedy Park features three inspirational American leaders, Martin Luther King, Jr. (Dream),  John F. Kennedy (Inspire) and Ruth Ginsburg (Justice).  Does it say anything about America that all three are now dead, and that two were assassinated?

Linked to Monday Murals.

Pretty House

 This house has a fresh look.  New shingles?  Freshly stained?  Power washed?  

I don't know.  But it looks good.

Sculpture

Someone might inform me that this is a piece of equipment to be installed underground.  

Me?  I'm going with sculpture.

Connecticut Science Museum

 The museum is on the bank of the Connecticut River in Hartford, where U.S. Routes 84 and 91 intersect.

An entire floor of the museum is devoted to Pixar animation.

There are models of favorite Pixar characters.

Museum visitors can make changes to Pixar characters and see the results on the screen.
