Traces Of Time ...


"Let your life lightly dance on the edges of 
Time like dew on the tip of a leaf."
           ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Spending time this March in the charming, Victorian town of

Little Pink Houses ...

"Oh, but ain't that America
For you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see, baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses 
For you and me
Oooh, yeah
For you and me."
                       ~ "Pink Houses"
                                       ~ John Cougar Mellencamp 

The  1983 John Cougar Mellencamp song "Pink Houses" popped
into my mind when I saw this charming house bedecked for 
St. Patrick's Day in Belvidere, New Jersey last weekend.
Belvidere is a charming Victorian town located on the banks 
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

Victorian Charm


"What I like about black and white photographs  
is that they're more like reading the book then seeing the movie."

The historic Hotel Belvidere, built in 1831, is located in the quaint, scenic town of Belvidere, New Jersey. Belvidere is a charming Victorian town I visited this weekend, located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

George Washington traveled through Belvidere at 10 a.m. July 26, 1872 when he camped at Morristown.
