Maple Ave.
previous / nextThis is just something that caught my eye somewhere in Hunterdon County. I liked the combination of the colors and the stark whites in the stone. I was at te bottom of a small hill near a river looking up and the little vignette caught my eye so I took a quick snap.
I have been really, really busy lately. I was working on a few things to do with the Youth Orchestra and a Music Camp that the director runs in addition to the usual craziness that goes along with having busy teenagers.
Jon has some exciting news...Last Saturday he auditioned on Viola for the Central Jersey Regional Orchestra and made it! His audition was pretty solid too. He scored in the top 7 out of 34 in sight reading, which he thought he was not very good at. His overall score was 191 out of a possible 300. The high -low score range for the kids who made it was 242-134. He made the Symphony Orchestra 14th chair out of 16. They have a string only orchestra that took an additional 12 kids. So out of 28 kids he was 14th overall.
Auditions were open to all music students 6th-9th grade (depending on the instrument) in Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset and Union Counties in Central Jersey. There were about 700 students trying out for one of 3 ensembles; Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra, and Band.
Rehearsals start this Saturday, and the concert is in March, so he's going to be a pretty busy kid for the next few weeks. (Sorry for the brag.) Unfortunately I will not be able to take photos since they hire a photographer.

Nice capture. I like how you included the street sign. Congratulations os the Symphony Orchestra accomplishment. Carrie, our daughter excelled at the flute in High School and also plays the piano like me. It's always good to brag on our children:-)
Outstanding, Laurie. I would brag too. You have very talented kids there. It will certainly be a busy exciting time for your whole family.
A fine light and a tonic contrast on the rock and leaves .
I really like the depth of this image, as well as the colours.
Hi Laurie
Beautiful composition and great details, bravo!
Congrats to Jon!
Nice composition. Love the DOF here!
I can see why this captured your viewfinder. Very neat shot. Good perspective. And congrats to Jon! Sounds exciting!
Brag on, Laurie! Those are some well deserved pats on the back!!! Congratulations, Jon!
This has a great feel to it.
I like the angle on this. Great shot.
Nice picture and congratulations for the audition. My two littles girls play as well (piano and classical flute)..Music is wonderful, isn't it?..Good we!
I agree the range of colors is simply beautiful and especially like the way they contrast with the white stone. Very well done.
So, maybe that is a maple tree ! ?
