Snowy Central Park

It hasn’t snowed much this winter. But a couple weeks ago I was lucky to be in NYC on a snowy afternoon.

Things That Are Cold: Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge

This week’s topic for Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge is things that are cold.

I see a pattern with my images: they are mostly based on the weather. Snow and ice and cold is all I can think about. The temperatures will drop this weekend to their lowest of the winter so far.

I wonder how I would have done this challenge in the summer time? Maybe images of ice-cold drinks sitting out in the sun?

Speaking of summer, it will be nice to get out to the parks and playgrounds again.

Or go swimming in the lake.

Or go check out the marina near the beach.

Looking at flowers again in warm weather.

Or even just looking at stop signs without being reminded of snow.

But for now, my world is full of things that are cold. And that includes me!

 

First Day of Fall, Feels Like Summer

Yesterday was the first day of fall, but it looked and felt very much like summer.

The Lake in July, April, and March

July 4

The lake, three ways. Here are some images from summer, spring, and winter.

In April, the new grass and cat tails are starting to grow. There’s not much else as far as green stuff to look at. In other years, there might be more spring plant life to see in mid-April, but winter just didn’t want to leave us this year.

April 19

I used this image for the Landscape assignment of Photo 101 in March.

March 22

I’ll have to go back in the fall. I bet the hills look pretty when the leaves turn.

Cat Tails and Fireworks

Cat tails and lilly pads

The lake was pretty during the cloudy day and then lit up by concurrent fireworks shows on Saturday night.

Red, white, and blue

The Old Town Canoe by the Lake

Meet me

at the Old Town canoe by the lake,

we’ll cut the lock

and float away.

Photo101: Landscapes

Here are some landscape shots taken in Northern New Jersey. The lake still has a layer of ice and snow.

I loved the dried grass and these old sunflowers.

Here’s a view of the lake from on top of the hill.
