A photojournal of the Wooster Square neighborhood in New Haven, Connecticut. And, occasionally a photo of New Haven, of course, of course.

Milo the Therapy Dog

Everyone should be so lucky to live with a furry therapist.  This is Milo, I've shown him before but today is special.  He received his special Pet Therapy vest from Bridgeport Hospital today.  So proud and ready to go.

Hibiscus

These photos don't quite show the beauty of this perennial favorite of mine.  The blooms are so large and catch my every time I see one.  They are in bloom right now all over the neighborhood.

Well OK then....

Somehow I lost a day and didn't post yesterday.  Oh well.   Here's an interesting political ad.  I don't know who the car belonged to but they had something to say.  The sign on the top of the car says, "Democrats=Medicare, Social Security, etc. etc.  Republicans=nothing but BS like vouchers, etc."
Maybe it's all in the etc.

Still the Carnival in Guilford


This ride is called Pirat.  Hence the Pirate ship swinging like a pendulum in the night air.  Looks like it could be fun if you're 13 or say, 15 years old. 
 The next two are a little out of focus but I LOVE the look of the three girls in the back row on the following shot.

Carnival in Guilford - the Cliff Hanger

So you have to get in one of these green contraptions and lay flat on your stomach as they whisk you up into the air and go round and round.  There is a reason why carnival rides are best suited for the young.

Carnival in Guilford

This ride was called SCAT.  I liked it the best because of the colors!  Over the next few days I'll post more rides.  It was a beautiful night for a carnival and the moon was almost full.
