Snow Near Donaldson Pond and Raritan River

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!

This dragon is on display in the children’s room at the Highland Park Public Library. I took the photo on one of our trips to visit Belle, the therapy dog. Belle is on vacation until February. Have a good holiday, Belle! See you next year.

Chanukah has come to an end, and all that was left of colorful candles yesterday was bits of red, yellow, blue and white wax. Frume Sarah hosted Haveil Havalim yesterday; reading her blog carnival post can bring a little cheer.

As a reminder, JPIX, the blog carnival of Jewish Photo Bloggers, will appear on this blog on Wednesday. Entries may be submitted using this blog carnival form. Feel free to come back and visit to see the show.

Cow – Free Associate

What do you think of when you see a cow? Or a drawing of a cow? Much thanks to Peter Paul Rubens for his help with the drawing.

My original reason for drawing a cow was a I had a chance to read the parsha of Miketz (Torah portion) last week that was read today in the synagogue.

Your turn.
