The weather hasn't really been cooperating much this past week either. I had to deal with severe winds and rain or, at other times, brutally cold temperatures. As a result, I didn't bring my fancy-schmancy new DSLR camera with me but a day or two. I now have the case for it, but earlier in the week I didn't want to expose it to the rain. And, as I'm still waiting for a part, my pocket camera is my older one. Thus ... not a great selection of photos this week.
In the good news department, both knees are fine and Vincent is well. Without further ado, onto the photos --

| Golden Rays |
This was taken with the DSLR. I'm still learning more about settings and such. However, the golden rays were an actuality. The only editing I did with this one was cropping and making it smaller to post. Plainfield Train Station.

| Stormy Lamps |
The same day, but facing away from the sunset.
 |
| Keep back 300 ... um .. eft? |
Not the DSLR. I took this one walking to the local bodega. I edited it to leave only the fire engine in color. Berckman Street, Plainfield.
 |
| Eats |
The older camera, as well. This restaurant is on Watchung Avenue in Plainfield. There are several South and Central American restaurants in town serving the changing population. I'm not really keen on Mexican and various other countries foods, so I can't tell you if the food is good or not. However, it seems like this particular fairly new restaurant always has a patron or two inside eating while others come for carry out.

| Rainy neon glow |
Winter in New Jersey. Well, at least this winter and so far. The wind was blowing the rain sideways (and I had a cut on my foot!) when I took this shot. I was soaked clear through. Wah. Watchung Avenue, Plainfield.
 |
| Monsoon morning |
Yep, that's rain on the train. It doesn't fall mainly on the plane. Plainfield Train Station and my ride to work is here.
 |
| The sun also rises |
I went in later one morning and caught the reflection of the sunrise in one window. So I left that one window in color. North Avenue across from the train station. Yes, I know I've done this sort of thing with these same windows before. But I don't believe I've caught the rising sun before.

| Darned paparazzi, shoo! |
I stalked Vincent so much with the DLSR camera that I think I annoyed him. Poor cat. He's so abused, eh?
 |
| Am I boring you, Vincent? |
This was the same photo session. I guess he was sleepy!

I love the reflecting rain photos. Good job. I hope your foot gets better.
Love the last photo of Vincent! It looks like he is laughing at you! ;-D Hope your hurt foot heals quickly! Have a great Sunday!
LOVE the rainy reflection pic! Sorry about your foot! The pix were worth your suffering tho so THANK-YOU!
Neither injured foot nor monsoon nor back-up camera shall keep Jackie from photographing Plainfield....
The rainy day photos are intriguing, and that last photo of Vincent looks like he could be singing along to his favorite tune.
What a cool shot that is of the sun's reflection.
Snowfall overnight. I'm actually grateful; this business of having most of my lawn bare in the middle of January was getting worrisome. May not be the best for walking though - hides the ice that was the dominant thing on our streets for the past couple of months.
Off to shovel snow now.
Love the pics -- as always!
