She was happy to be included with the sunset. Personally, I think she’s more interesting to look at than my sky photos, which all seem to look alike. To me. Sky Watch is great to do with your kids.
For many years this was the Corner Confectionery. Then that little ice cream shop/candy store on South Third Avenue closed its doors, and a FOR LEASE sign haunted the windows for several months. About a month ago the sign disappeared. I wonder what it will be?
I took this photo of a dried sedum flower a block away from my house a few days ago.
Here’s a sedum flower I photographed last September. I believe this is “Showy Stonecrop” or Sedum spectabile. I would like to try growing this flower in my garden this summer.

OK, I lied. This first one isn’t in Edison. It’s on my block in Highland Park, but I want to learn the name of the tree that has these branches. Maybe in the spring when the leaves come back.
I took this photo yesterday at about 5:30 pm, when I was picking up my son from an after school program. The school, RPRY in Edison, New Jersey, is a Jewish Day School, so both the U.S. flag and the Israeli flag were flapping around in the sunset. Today they are probably flapping even more; the wind has been howling since this morning, and a poor woman in Mountainside, New Jersey was killed when a tree fell on her car.
This shot was take above the basketball court at the school.
I love the color accent setting on my camera. My daughter’s ballet tutu was in teal, so teal got the accent for these photos. In Photoshop, I just adjusted the magenta and yellow settings a bit to add some sepia.
This photo has sentimental value, as the paintings that are highlighted because of the teal setting are my mother’s landscapes.

Some of you may remember the snow girl my daughter, middle son and my daughter’s friend built. Well, she melted a bit, then she got snowed upon, so I put some red sunglasses on her and stuck the heart back on so she could pose for my Ruby Tuesday shot. It’s good I did it last week, because the snow has now melted all away. My daughter did not approve of my new snow lady at all; she claimed I ruined her. I think I gave her a new style and look.
