In bloom

Early summer rhododendrons exploded everywhere, then seemed to vanish overnight.

Nature's bounty

At our seasonal farmers market. New Jersey is the "Garden State" (despite its industrial reputation!), and you'll find many working farms a quick 5-20 minute drive from Princeton.

Gilded lilies

Tiger lilies are a vivid adornment this time of year. 

Moonrise

...at twilight, a favorite time of day.

Portraits

From Princeton Reunions: A quietly stylish gentleman (to balance yesterday's loud tones)... 

A sweet hat and giant earring (thanks to this lovely lady for posing)!

Parade

Each year, Princeton alumni go mad over reunions, culminating in the "P-rade." Here are glimpses of P-rade madness, if you'd like to see (I got swept up and went mad taking photos)...

Tiger (school mascot) tones...

Kilts...

Tiger dogs...


Loudest jackets ever...

Carnival!

Reunions

While the world focused on Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, here 20,000 Princeton University alumni descended for another festival, class reunions. There's several days of reveling, drinking, and academic buildings transformed into party central (that gate is not usually there, nor is that faux railroad sign reading front-to-back "Clear the track. '67's back!"). 

June theme day: Tranquility

Frog Hollow, formerly a (Revolutionary) war site, now evokes a quiet peace.
~ Wishing you a tranquil month! ~
