Happy Holidays!

Hamilton Jewelers window and our town square. Crazily enough, I'm traveling again, thanks to last-minute tickets. I may not have internet for a week, but wishing you a Happy Holiday! Be safe, see you soon.

Below, to make up for my post-and-run week, a little farewell look at 2012...

New spring leaves...


After a summer storm...

Autumn is beautiful...

Dreaming of a white Christmas.

December

Back from work travels in a month that went by too fast. The tragedy in Connecticut has been on my mind. I hope everyone has been well and safe.

Afternoon walk

Such colourful, climbing vines! I'll be away the next few days for work travel. Be well, see you soon!

Sculptural stairwell

Sherrerd Hall, Princeton University: I've passed this building many times and never gone in - what a surprise! I was unprepared and only had my phone camera.

Baby ginger

At one of our last outdoor farmers' markets (the ginger did not need peeling & was delicious brewed in chai tea). This week, the market moves indoors for the coldest season.

Feline look

Stare-down contest on Princeton campus (I lost). Enjoy your weekend!

Wobbly bridge

Crossing Stony Brook, Institute Woods: The perfect place for an unsteady photo:) Lenape tribes, 1690s Quaker settlers, Washington and Einstein all passed through these lands, once upon a time.

Quaint waiting room

For the wee "Dinky" train (posted before).

I also learned of the below locally-filmed ad - it includes sites I've shown. (But no one dresses like this, haha!)

Mid-morning scene

On my way to an appointment, a quick shot of the 1896 Lower Pyne Building, decked out for the holidays.

Pea soup

Lunchtime yesterday: I wonder how these intrepid golfers could see? (On a random note: my mind wandered back to a memorable school lecture titled The Killer London Fog of 1952.)

Swing

My street includes this tempting swing. The kid in me wants to try it; the adult in me eyes that skinny branch and thinks better of it.
