Snow Near Donaldson Pond and Raritan River
December 22nd, 2009 by Leora
Snow by the Pond in Donaldson Park, Middlesex County, New Jersey
We went sledding in Donaldson Park on Sunday, and in the distance I could see both the icy pond and the Raritan River beyond the pond.
I took the photos from a sledding hill far from the river. My original photos had a blue cast; if you have Photoshop, you can use this video to learn how to remove a colored cast from a photo using Levels.
Here’s a glimpse of the main event: sledding!
Donaldson Park last December: less snow.
The pond in April: lots of birds!

You did get a lot of snow in the end. It is slowly melting here. Your son looks very concentrated.
All four of us had a great time.
Nice photos! Is that your son in the photo, he does seem to be focused on where he is going. We had 18 inches here in Maryland.
Yes, that’s my son. I took some great photos of my daughter and her friend, but I didn’t feel comfortable posting her friend.
Great snow shots. They look refreshing on a hot summer’s day like today.

Now that’s one of the greatest parts of blogging – I show you snow, and you talk about your hot summer day.
wow, the kids must have lots of fun sledding!
there is something about the snow that calms everything. happy holidays.
wonderful snowy captures. love the last photo…looks like a lot of fun!
yes, that’s why I included it – the top two had water in the distance, and the bottom one had the fun!
great looking winter!
Sledding is is much fun, my two little ones had a blast too.

I like your son’s facial expression. I can almost hear his echoing laugh while going down with the sled.

I always enjoyed sledding with my boys and now I get to enjoy it with my grand kids! Great choice of pics!
Great shots, Leora! I like the one of your son, so focused looking.
The first one is gorgeous!
Lovely pictures! I like 2nd and 3rd ones! You can also quick fix color cast by defining grey spot or white spot in photoshop:)
OK, I’ll have to look out for a Photoshop tutorial on grey spot or white spot. Sounds like similar to photographing white with a card.
Thanks for the comments on the photos. I appreciate your keen eye.
Thank you! I do check your blog regularly… sometimes I dont comment cuz I dont know anything about the post or if it is photo post and if I find it similar to your previous ones… But you are doing great!
I loved going sledding with my daughter…Looks like everyone was having a great time…
