The stag is seen often in Hartford symbols, including this seal in the Connecticut State Capitol. The name Hartford (honoring Hertford, England, the home of a Hartford founder) is based on hart, or male deer.
The theme for City DailyPhoto bloggers in February is "animals." Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.
It wasn't easy continuing my tour of the Capitol's interior architecture and still participating in Theme Day.

I love your theme post Jack!!!!!The stag is great:)
You have managed to continue our tour with this wonderful stag emblem Jack ...... I had never realised that Hart is the name for a male deer.
Great idea for today's theme, Jack! Too bad I forgot to participate this month. Oops!
Not easy, but not impossible, as you have demonstrated. Very well done, Jack!
You're such a clever animal yourself, Jack...human animal, that is!!
Very clever solution and a great detail shot!
It's an image that is stately, strong and proud!
What a great seal! I had no idea how Hartford got its name.
Good job. Your creativity is showing!
Bravo, Jack. A tip of the hat for participating in theme day whilst continuing the tour. When I saw this as a thumbnail, I thought, 'Uh-oh...Jack forgot about theme day!' Silly me.
"After the clouds, the sun", that's what's written around the hart.Beautyfulsymbols!
Good choice for the post Jack! So much detail in this place.
Nice continuation of your tour while including an animal. I'd not known the origins of the name. Very interesting.
How beautiful and how fascinating, Jack.
Interesting informations and a good shot.
Sooooo gorgeous... & soooo clever to merge the CDP theme with the tour. Soooo clever. (do you get the feeling that I am impressed?)
You rose to the challenge beautifully Jack, well done!
Wonderful colors and details, Jack.
Might not have been easy, but you did indeed rise to the challenge, Jack -- of which I had no doubt! Terrific detail!
