I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here, for which I am late, but I will explain why below.
This is my summation of the past week:
Those are photos of Teddy looking at the water during our trip to Lakeview Cemetery in New Canaan, CT a few weeks ago. Teddy and I enjoy the tranquility of water settings.
The reason I'm late posting this week is because I needed a ticket into this week's T-gathering, and unexpectedly found myself without one. I had planned on taking a photo of Teddy with this week's grocery store flyer, however, when Teddy found out I went to "The Great Gatsby Mansion" (as he calls it), without him, he refused to pose for me. So I had to scramble to create an art piece as my ticket:
Coca Cola
Two weeks ago we had a Great White Shark in Long Island Sound, near Greenwich, CT, and this past week we had Black Bear sightings in lower Fairfield County. They said it is most likely the same bear, roaming through several towns. Teddy was thrilled when he heard about this, and said he hopes we run into the bear while we are out.
Fortunately, unlike Grizzly Bears, Black Bears usually leave humans alone, but they're still a potentially dangerous wild animal, so if we do see one, I'll make noise and slowly back away, like they say to do during an encounter. They also say not to have a bird feeder up, but last week I got a new one, to replace my old one, which got damaged, and intend to feed the birds all Summer.
I created more artwork, including Treasure Island, Bird Hat Lady, and Sun Eye.
Over the weekend, we watched The Night Of The Hunter (1955), Shadow On The Wall (1950), Key Largo (1948) Part 1 and Part 2, Sanctum (2011) (DVD), The Birds (1963) (DVD), Psycho (1960) (DVD), Jaws (1975) (DVD), and Caddyshack (1980) (DVD).
Teddy must have been enjoying the gorgeous long holiday weekend weather. It was just perfect, wasn't it? And I do like your coco-cola piece. It is a fun take on your usual work. I hope it was a happy one Anne. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting week with black bears and sharks! Sorry teddy was cross with you....Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a cemetery set on the water, although the cemetery where most of my relatives are buried has a fountain and pond.
ReplyDeleteI've seen several of the movies you mention, although strangely Jaws is one of the ones I haven't seen. I even have it on DVD but have not gotten to it yet.
Happy T Day! (I believe there's no such thing as "late" when blogging ;) )
Teddy looks so pensive sitting on the bench. Like Teddy, I hope for a bear encounter, too. We had one in our town a couple of years ago, but he never roamed to my side of town. I keep both my bird feeders filled. No bears. A lady in RI just had an encounter. She was leaving her gardening job when she saw one in or near the yard. She got into her car. The bear came to the car, pawed the windows, and even managed to open the door a little. She was able to pull the door shut, lock the car, and then called police. Some people have all the luck, don't they, Teddy? Happy T Day PS the King of Soda is Pepsi. =^,.^=
ReplyDeleteYou teddy certainly gets around, what a lucky bear he is. Great photographs too. Not sure that teddy would be really happy if he meant a real bear though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great crafty week, Angela xXx
Lovely to see Teddy enjoying the peace and quiet of the cemetery.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course he would be disappointed not to have met up with his big cousin 'Black Bear'. But I'm sure you were not that keen in the first place. There is certainly plenty of wildlife around where you are.
I also read the linked article about the Great White shark. Interesting.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
