Tuesday Photo Challenge: Field…

What a wide open field (no pun intended).  I went through many pictures of fields and then I came upon this one and knew it had to be my post.

The Field Gallery on Martha’s Vineyard.  CLICK HERE to read a about it.

**(from their website: The Field Gallery and Sculpture Garden is an unparalleled environment. Inside, three galleries present rotating exhibits of contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography, and so much more. Outside, the large field is home to the ever enchanting sculptures of Field Gallery founder Thomas Maley. The gallery represents more than 25 talented artists, each with a distinct island connection. Run by a small staff, the Field Gallery is a truly unique viewing experience with constantly changing artwork and Vineyard charm.)

The photos are from various visits to the gallery.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Age…

My choice for age is going back in time to a different one, one where my ancestors came from, the 17th century and the age of the pilgrims.  These pictures were taken at PLIMOTH PLANTATION in Massachusetts.

Branch Brook Park is located in my hometown of Newark, NJ.   Branch Brook Park was created in 1895 making it the first county park in the nation.  It has the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the world… more than Washington, DC and more than Japan.  The cherry trees were a gift donated in 1927 by Caroline Bamberger Fuld. BBP is 360 acres and has almost 5000 cherry trees.  The Cherry Blossom Festival runs for two weeks April 7 – 15, 2018.

Some of the cherry trees are along Second River which forms the border between Newark and Belleville.

Weekly Challenge: Solitude…

The prompt this week is to show solitude.

This statue of a lion sleeping in one of the gardens at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township, New Jersey made me feel a sense of solitude.
