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!

Weekend explorations: Outdoor fun

In Manhattan's Bryant Park, snapped right before I left for Xmas/New Year's break. This got lost in the post-travel shuffle. Hard to tell from my point-and-shoot, but it was a beautiful winter's night.

Postcard from England: A low-key break

Moor Hall grounds, Sutton Coldfield. We enjoyed a low-key Christmas/New Year's break across the pond. Hope your holidays were relaxing and your year's off to a great start - here's to 2014!

Postcard from Manhattan: Little wedding scene {+wedding-themed summer farewell}

Gazebo wedding, Central Park lake. The lake is also a lovely place to rowboat. And below, since our summery autumn heatwave is finally ending, a farewell look at that most summery of scenes - weddings.

{Clockwise from bottom left - all Summer 2013: colorful-quirky Princeton, elegant Paris, Cinderella London horse-drawn carriage and its London bride outside St. Paul's Cathedral.}

Postcard from Manhattan: Central Park ballerina

Alas, I couldn't walk closer for a better shot, but she was a fun/sweet/unusual autumn sight. (Lincoln Center, home to two ballet companies and a ballet school, is nearby.)

Postcard from London: Peaceful moments

Early evening, back at St. James's Park. Below, even at hectic St. Pancras station, a musical interlude (on "Play Me, I'm Yours" street piano). Enjoy your weekend! I'll be taking a break next week to travel home:)

Postcard from London: St. James's Park

Lazy, hazy day. Still in London, but back to regular Princeton posting by end of next week. Thanks for bearing with my 'postcards.'
