Mosaic Monday: Frelinghuysen Flowers

I shot a children's session a few weeks ago at nearby Frelinghuysen Arboretum, and took some time before the session to grab a few flower shots.  I haven't been able to do a lot of garden visits this summer, so I was happy to have the opportunity to stroll about this pretty garden.  :)

Mosaic Monday: Playing With Purple

As you know, I've been part of a Facebook and Flickr group called Colors of 2013 with Eva Ricci Studio.  We've had a different color assigned every month.  This month's color is purple.  And I've been having a lot of trouble with it.  I wanted to do something besides flowers, and so I chose some (what I thought was) purple produce at the market last week.  Dusky plums, juicy dark raspberries, red cabbage and eggplant...  When it came time to shoot them, I realized that purple can mean a lot of different things to different people...  I'm not sure if my images qualify as purple, but otherwise I'm happy with them...  Now to cook/eat it all!  ;)

Mosaic Monday: Ham House

Oh gosh, once again I'm late posting here!  It's been so stinking hot here in New Jersey, I've not had any desire to do anything except sit in the air conditioning and lose myself in a book.  Right now, we are huddled in the small family room, noodling around on the internet and watching a broadcast version of one of my favorite movies -- Moonstruck.

Here are a few photos from my trip to England in May.  This is Ham House, a beautiful example of seventeenth-century architecture, located along the Thames River in Richmond.  I have more photos to come, but here is a little sneak peek.

Stay cool, my friends.  Sorry to say, but I'm starting to look forward to fall.  ;)

Mosaic Monday: Looking Back

Since it's been ungodly hot here in New Jersey these past few weeks, I've decided to take a look back at spring, with some images from nearby Willowwood Arboretum that I never got around to sharing with you.  When I shot these, I was so happy that the weather was warming up, and some flowers were beginning to appear.  Now, it's been in the 80's and 90's for two weeks straight, and I'm dreaming of sweaters...  :)
