And waited your love through a February sleep,
I see birds swinging in, watched them multiply...
Like beauty spots marking a still perfect cheek.
I see them bending the air, slipping away, for what birds seek.
-From "The Balance Wheel" by Anne Sexton
Morning at the former Princeton Inn, a 1920s hotel (now student residence) overlooking a spot where the British made an almost-last stand in 1777. Enjoy your weekend!

Gorgeous composition, light, colours and building!
¡¡Fantástica foto!! Es una imagen muy bien encuadrada, una luz suave, la desnudez de los árboles, los pájaros volando… todo esta en su sitio, muy bien.
El texto de Anne Sexton, me gusta, ¡como no!.
Un saludo, Ángel
A thing of beauty...
I too love the light and texture here on this rather nice parkland.
beautiful! how funny, we both got birds in flight today! have a great weekend!
Love that soft feeling to this photograph. Such a super capture. Have a grand weekend :).
Thanks for this lovely image to take us into the weekend Lulu, so much history surrounding this very spot, it always amazes me to think about it.
p.s. we have been lucky so far thankfully in WA regarding fires, but I feel with the heat we are experiencing it's only a matter of time unfortunately..
Beautiful Lulu! What a wonderful and calming way to end the week... bon week-end!
Terrific shot, Lulu! It feels like a very peaceful spot, at least at that time of day...
Aw, thanks everyone for the kind comments. Have a lovely weekend!
Wonderful choice of verse to go with that idyllic scene. I wonder if the redcoats were playing bowls.
moving shot!

What a wonderful capture.
A lovely shot of a compelling building.
Tranquil and serene .... Amazing to think this is just a short distance from hustling-bustling New York.
This post has it all: Beauty, history, and fine literature. Well done!
How cool that the residence was once an inn!
