Exploded trees

I'm afraid post-hurricane Princeton is full of exploded trees. I'll try to include some cheerier photos soon, from my travels last week (I luckily missed the storm while travelling).

Around town

From 2 weeks ago, an autumn day with touches of red (thanks to this dapper gentleman for posing!)... 

...And gold. Thank you for your kind comments yesterday. Nature is devastating but also beautiful. My heart goes out to those affected by the hurricane. Please stay safe wherever you are.

November theme day: Water's edge

This month's theme day was a challenge. Hurricane Sandy devastated many areas. After travel delays, I arrived home a few hours ago to a town with almost no power...but am one of the lucky ones. Meantime, until I've new photos, here's a Waikiki Beach, Honolulu sunset from a few days ago. I hope to visit your blogs soon, and that you're well and safe!

Arches of Princeton

Rockefeller College, Princeton University. This student residence has its own dining, study and other facilities, to encourage a sense of community. I'm signing off for a week and half to see family. Be well, see you soon!

Chubby critter

A pudgy groundhog (or woodchuck) prepares for winter. Leaves are fading - I love their crunch underfoot.

Something different

Sorry for the night shots! Returned to our theatre Tuesday for something different: the funny, singing, strumming Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Where else can you hear Handel, The Clash and Lady Gaga in one concert?:) They play prestigious Carnegie Hall tonight.

Here, their rendition of Ennio Morricone's classic Western movie score, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"...

London-themed day

Sunday in London, our pre-Princeton haunt, courtesy of Mr. L (a rare co-contributor:), who is there for work.

The play's the thing

McCarter Theatre, our Tony-award winning theater, about a month ago on a warm day. The left photo is from this weekend - Sigourney Weaver and David Hyde Pierce were appearing in "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike," which ran an extra week. I got last-minute tickets (30 seconds before curtain) and enjoyed the fun. The play moves to New York next.
