Wouldn't you feel like an idiot if you wanted a vitamin that is NOT on sale and had to pay full price?

Practice, Practice, Practice

The stairs from the pro shop and dining rooms at the Hartford Golf Club lead to the driving range.

I think this qualifies for Shadow Shot Sunday.

18th Hole

Fellow bloggers Jacob and Halcyon are golfers.  I thought I would show them the beautiful 18th hole at Hartford Golf Club.  The top view is behind the green.  The bottom view is near the tee boxes, looking up the fairway toward the clubhouse.

It would be a good idea to use colored golf balls these days.  And snowshoes instead of spikes.

Weekend Reflections: Moneychangers at the Temple

The First Church of Christ Congregational occupies a prominent corner in West Hartford Center, across a wide median strip from many storefronts, including Citizens Bank.

It is Friday, so Newtown Area Photos is once again hosting Weekend Reflections.  Take a look.

The Obligatory Snow Storm Photo

OK.  You all know we had another snow storm yesterday.  Well, I'm getting sick of snow storms and I'm getting sick of snow storm photos.  Snow is fine.  Snow storms are %&(^%$*&^.

So, here is a photo of the campus of St. Joseph College, a Catholic woman's college, while snow is falling.  Hartford didn't get hit as bad as other cities this time.

At least until I change my mind, no more storm photos this winter.  There will be plenty of pictures with snow in them, but I hope they will be blue sky snow photos.  A guy has to take a stand.

Housing Developments

These are the last of my airplane photos.  I promise.  They are housing developments photographed from the window of an airplane as it approached the airport serving Hartford.  I thought the patterns were pretty, and they illustrate how much snow was on the ground.  Of course, it snowed hard yesterday and there is even more snow on the ground now.  Not that you could tell from this high . . .

(I think the smaller bottom photo is worth clicking on.)

Theme Day: Corning Fountain

The February theme for City Daily Photo participants is "Fountains."  It isn't easy finding a good fountain to photograph in New England in the winter.  Most have been turned off and drained.

Today's guest photographer, my daughter Susie, took some great fountain photos when she visited Hartford two weeks ago, in mid-January.

This is the Corning Fountain in Bushnell Park, a park in Hartford's downtown.  It is a big, complicated  fountain with an American Indian theme.  The stag at the top is a "hart," from which Hartford is named.

The fountain's donor was a member of the family that founded Corning Glass in upstate New York.

Isn't Susie a terrific photographer?  This is the last post from the set of pictures she took in her last Hartford visit.  Many more of Susie's photos are on Flickr.
