False color infrared flowers

Continuing with my explorations of infrared photography. As I was nearing Sleepy Hollow after my walk around the Rockefeller State Park Preserve, I walked by a number of houses many of them with flowers growing in their gardens. So, I thought I should try what effect false infrared photography had on flowers.

I like some of the results, especially the one above. In fact, the only one I don’t like much is the last one, but that might well be my fault. Maybe I didn’t process it correctly.

Karen’s Birthday

Yesterday was the Executive Director of the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society and my friend Karen’s Birthday. So, we had a little celebration. I had earlier invited the Historical Society’s Board members. In that invitation I had asked if one of them would volunteer to pick up something to eat. Unfortunately, I must not have been clear enough, because everyone brought food – including me because I didn’t think anybody else was going to. So, we had way too much food, all of it sweet: cupcakes, mini-cupcakes, carrot cake etc. All of the Board members save one who had babysitting obligations came. As did our friends and neighbors from the Briarcliff Manor Recreation Department.

A good time was had by all.
