Communiversity

Princeton's annual town-meets-gown street fair, Communiversity, is always popular. These (good natured) fellows hosted a pie-in-the-face event to raise funds to combat malaria.

Before the blooms faded II

I'm already missing spring. During a too-brief season, this tree prettied up an otherwise ordinary driveway.

Before the blooms faded

These lush blossoms line a path near university boundaries. Last spring, I watched clothing brand J. Crew do a photoshoot here. It seemed rather appropriate, given Princeton's preppy vibe.

(Sorry for the smartphone blurred pic).

Inner sanctum

A meeting takes place in the beautiful Faculty Room, Nassau Hall, Princeton University. The doors were wide open but it was definitely a private affair, so I shot this quietly a few steps outside.

Pale pinks

A view from the Princeton Theological Seminary, captured by smartphone near the end of day. (Hence the blur! Apologies.)

Bucolic

It's just the Springdale golf course, but some days it looks like a scene from an English countryside.

Splish splash

The fountain at the Woodrow Wilson ("Woody Woo") policy school is a warm weather favorite with children, dogs, couples, students, families, and skateboarders alike.

Golden light

The Princeton graduate tower glows gold in late afternoon light. Many graduate students have lived in its shadow. On weekends, you can hear the tower bells ring across town.

Woodchuck

It's fun to see these chubby guys emerge after a long winter.

Spring is here!

Camera time! Inspired by the Daily Photo series, I thought I'd share glimpses of Princeton life, starting with Frog Hollow, site of a Revolutionary War skirmish and now faculty housing.
