His Master's Voice: Barry Manilow?

I am not old enough to remember the RCA ads with a dog cocking his ear toward a victrola, as he hears his master's voice.  But, I have seen them.

We went to an antiques fair on Saturday.  This dealer specializes in collectible music, music players and related items.

Lafayette

The Marquis de Lafayette was a great favorite of the Americans.  He was young, handsome and dashing, and became a friend of George Washington.  The French were pivotal in the Colonists' victory over the British in the American Revolutionary War.  The original of this statue is in the Louvre.  This replica stands in a small triangular park among state government buildings in Hartford.   Lafayette's sword is raised in salute to the state Capitol.

Trinity College Clock Tower

The clock tower on the right is another of Trinity College's signature buildings.  To the left is a building at the end of Long Walk, which houses members of the faculty and administration.  The clock tower is Downes Memorial and the administrative/faculty building is Williams Memorial.

Long Walk: They're Coming Back

I went back to Trinity Friday night.  Trinity has Hartford's best movie theater for foreign, classic and independent films.

Here is Long Walk again.  This time with the streetlights lit and this time with college girls.

Weekend Reflections: Window Shopping

Shopping in, at and around a housewares store.  I am still learning about capturing reflections . . .

Trinity College Chapel

The College Chapel building is one of the most prominent on the campus of Trinity College.  The carillon (bell tower) can be seen above the skyline for miles around.

Freshmen and transfer students are scheduled to arrive on the Trinity campus today.  The serene atmosphere shown here in photographs from last week will not last long . . .

Theme Day: Connecticut Grown

Greater Hartford has numerous small farmers markets, opening on different days of the week.  Most emphasize locally grown products.
