Weekends without obligations grow scarce with age. This one was like any other--filled with family, food and celebratory festivities. With a few sunlit hours left to lap up Sunday morning, my honey and I drive to Terhune Orchards. Taking advantage of the sun and scenery, I pair a bright red Von Vonni transformer dress I had been gifted with a red sun hat from my mom's closet. Breathe-able air, delectable blackberries and an impromptu photo shoot set the stage for a fashionable end to an exceptional weekend.

It isn't every day that 1.4 million feet of hand-crocheted lobster-fishing rope covers 4,500 square feet of public park. Stacked in neat rows, shaped and segregated into 3 separate sections of Madison Square Park, 100,000 pounds of crocheted creativity curves in bold outpourings of color at the hands of Orly Genger (and a couple assistants). On a mission to de-stress outdoors, I grab the camera and my honey for a walk uptown--what a perfect opportunity to test out the partial color setting on the camera (Fujifilm X100s)! The option allows the camera to filter out all colors except one of your choosing (no photoshop necessary!). What do you think of the effect?
