Basketball

This weekend I have been in my hometown.  I went to the high school.

This ball was lying on the basketball court, so old that I probably left it there when I played.

That was a long, long time ago.

How long ago?
Let me put it this way.
Our trophy is the oldest one in the display case.

Green Street

The Green Street Art Center in Middletown gets support from Wesleyan University.

One project was to put murals on the side of a building up the street from the center.

I rarely have a photograph I like better in black and white.  This is one.
The old men from the neighborhood stand out better than they did in the colored version.

Hartford Skyline

This is the Hartford skyline from a park on the East Hartford side of the Connecticut River.  

It was taken on a recent evening, when the sunset was underwhelming.  

But, I liked the pink and gray tones.

No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time

9/11 Memorial Museum, New York City.

This wall has tiles with about 3,000 different shades of blue,

each representing a person killed on September 11, 2001.

Sunset at the School for the Deaf

Monday night I saw rosy clouds and headed for the American School for the Deaf, 

to see how the new triangular glass entrance and the old cupola looked.

Not bad.

Comstock Ferre & Co.

Comstock Ferre & Co. in Wethersfield is the country's oldest continuously operating seed store.

They have a dazzling array of seed packs for heritage vegetables.

Irina is the store's manager.

Utility Boxes

About a dozen utility boxes on Hartford's Franklin Avenue were painted colorfully last month.

This one is in front of Naylor Elementary School.

Jose was very proud of this one.

Monique and her brother Choice were not afraid of the huge insect.

This box was keeping an eye on the young woman walking on the opposite side of the street.

I liked this one, but the young man had no interest in it.
