"T Stands For Teddy On Stone Bench" - Photograph

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

This is my summation of the past week:

That is another photo of Teddy that I took during our trip to Lakeview Cemetery a few weeks ago. Teddy enjoyed gazing at the pond. (I don't have a frontal photo of Teddy because I would have had to walk to the other side of the pond to take it, and I didn't want to leave Teddy alone.)

I made a tarot card art piece that featured a cup as my ticket into this week's T-gathering:

The weather was a mix of unpleasantly hot and humid days, and hot but comfortable days.

I made a few postcards: A Fish Tale, Statue, and General Architecture.

I also made a tag: Dolphin Ship Anchor.

Because of the hot weather, I made Pasta Salad to have something cold to eat.

I am disgusted to report that one of my favorite cemeteries, Union Cemetery in Easton, CT, was vandalized by people who should go directly to jail. Unfortunately, they haven't been caught. Besides photographing some of the damaged gravestones, I also got some nice photos of a Dragonfly and Cicada Killer Wasp.

I took a few photographs at the reservoir.

I got some photographs of a Great Blue Heron and a Great Egret. They are such exotic, beautiful looking birds.

I posted Second on the 2nd: Great Egret Reflection.

Over the weekend, we watched Vertigo (1958) (DVD), National Treasure (2004) (DVD), National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) (DVD), Jacob's Ladder (1990) (DVD), and Death Sentence (1974) (TV Movie) (DVD).

Second on the 2nd: Great Egret Reflection

This is my entry for Altered Book Lover Bleubeard and Elizabeth's "Second on the 2nd" theme. Back in October 2015, I took some photos of a Great Egret at one of my reliable locations to find them, Southport Beach in Fairfield, CT.

Below is the contents of my original blog post, that I am sharing again today:

These are some photographs that I took of some Great Egrets at Southport Beach in Fairfield, CT this past week.

Sometimes I manage to capture stunningly beautiful shots (in my opinion), and the first photo was one of those times. The contrast of the white Egret against the dark water background came out perfectly.

The first photograph is my entry for the following:
