Rush hour

On Princeton University campus. I'll be taking a break next week - enjoy your weekend, see you soon!

From a private collection

Two Alexander Calder works are on loan to Princeton University through June, "The Kite that Never Flew" (left) and "Man." Both were installed on a rare snow-free day in January, below. (Doesn't the wrapped-up "Man" look Trojan horse-y? Open at your own risk, Princeton.)

Snow fun

Who needs man-made playgrounds when there's snowy fields? No more melting - the cold is back, brrr!

Sunny afternoons


It was 1C/30F late Sunday, heat wave! Fields and woods are still snowy, but this bench looks ready for 'benchwarmers' soon.

Happy Friday!

In the distance, two friends were running about, enjoying the snow and sunset. Enjoy your weekend!

Swirled tree

I always liked the slightly swirled bark on this tree, reminds me of marbled cake! With new snowfall like cake frosting. (Winter weather makes me hungrier than usual.)

My Congressman IS a Rocket Scientist


Seen on many cars here. Our Congressional representative, Rush Holt, a physicist, is retiring after eight long terms in Congress. He was an unusual Congressman - advocating for and securing funds to support scientific research and education, social equity, environmental conservation and suicide prevention in the military.

Winding down


Ending the day in pastel. Looks like a cross country skier had fun here.

Thoughtful gestures


Amid more snow and -15C/2F temps, someone thoughtfully hung a bird seed bell. (Some days ago, when sidewalks became treacherous ice rinks and I had to walk on the road, a sweet older couple stopped their car and asked with concern if I needed a lift - the kindness of strangers!)

Snow white

Just after a wiggly dog pulled my arm off center, and before the camera froze, a moment of fresh snow. Enjoy your weekend!

(Below, as refuge from the storm, watching the Beatles' U.S. television debut 50 years ago - the Beatles were an early love - Happy V-day:)

Let's forget that upcoming storm


We are being hit by our 3rd severe winter storm in less than 1.5 weeks! So forgive me if my mind wanders back to last winter...The weather was (unbelievably) warm enough for this bride to be outdoors on a January afternoon, swanning about the Princeton Battlefield in fancy dress - seems a world ago!

Fancy some chili?
















Warm food and colorful un-suit on a cold day. This is the local outpost of Whole Foods - overpriced, but with good food samples:)  Thanks to this gentleman for posing!

Snow walrus


Despite ice, falling branches and power outages, people still had fun outside! I loved this walrus.

Ice blossoms

Almost like fresh "spring blooms" bursting forth. Just pretend that blue sky is warm, not -10C/12F!

The ice storm


Yet another storm swept through yesterday, leaving beauty and destruction. Many are still without power.

The unintentional shot

I wanted a shot of peaceful geese on a pond, but our Kona girl (below) tried to give chase and off they flew.

{I deserve a belly rub for interrupting your picture}

Winter morning

Back from (work) travels and the polar vortex is loosening its grip, yay! Even the geese are flying again (specks in 1st photo). A cross country skier (2nd photo) enjoyed the sunrise with me.
