Movies and the Easter Bunny

The NJ Photo challenges in yesterday’s post were both taken at the Bridgewater Commons early last Sat morning. This upscale shopping mall is off Rte 22 in Bridgewater, NJ, and is about a 25-minute drive from my mother’s home in Plainfield.

The first photo that asked Where is This? is a movie theatre in the mall, which was completely renovated to add this bar at the entrance. Also, patrons can order food and eat it while watching a film – at an additional cost.Times have really changed since the last time I went to a movie theatre.

Prices have too – the lower prices are for early shows (before noon) and the higher prices are late afternoon/evening prices. The smaller print says that the listed prices include 7% NJ sales tax.

 
Everyone was lined up to see – as Grammie G, Sandra, Christer,  and Possum correctly figured out – the Easter Bunny.

The kids seemed less excited than the parents and grandparents.

NJ Photo Challenges

Here’s a couple of photo puzzlers from my recent NJ excursion. Both photos were taken on the same day and in the same place before 10 a.m.

The first one is sort of a Where is This?  The second is a What Are These People Doing?
Challenge#1: This is part of a larger establishment which features entertainment for young and old.
Hints:  People go here go to have a good time. Don’t let the bottles and glassware confuse you. This is in not just a bar or restaurant and is in a very public location.
Challenge #2: Can you tell why these folks gathered early in the morning?

Hints: Think of Santa Claus and a seasonal event.

As always, no prizes, just braggin’ rights – Answers later tonight.

Orange You Glad

This year, I started a fun project of selecting a color and then taking photos of things that feature the color. My challenge was to see how many items could be found with that color in them, whether at home or while out.

The first color was Seeing RED, followed by Mellow YELLOW.
It’s taken a bit longer for this color – ORANGE. Things found around our home . . .

And in stores . . .

While going places . . .

Now for some ORANGE fun, do you know what this is?

No prizes this time – Grenville said it’s too cold to spin the compost barrel.

Mellow Yellow

Last week, I started what may become a regular feature until I run out of things in the same color or find something more interesting, both of which are possible. The first color was RED. And, here’s the next one – YELLOW with things found in the kitchen . . .

Seen around the yard . . .

Things seen on a walk . . .

and in a local store . . .

My favorite yellow things – birds and flowers . . .



What are your favorites in YELLOW ?

Seeing Red

Here’s something that that you can try just by walking around your yard, home, neighborhood – anywhere .
     
Pick a color – any color – and really see how many things you can find that are that color OR have that color in them. It can be a bit of a challenge.

Yesterday, my color of choice was RED. Walking outside at The Frog & PenguINN, and here's what here’s what I saw . . .
Try your own color choice challenge. It’s a fun way to get out and walk around. Go ahead and post you own color finds. Since some fellow bloggers are in the midst of cold and wintry weather, WHITE might be a good choice.

And, here’s something else that’s RED and which we will be playing soon with friends M&B at our next game night. (And it was under $1 at a thrift store.)
