I was up in the Garden State with Amy through Labor Day weekend, and I’m always amused at how quintessentially suburban so much of the state is (with the possible exception of Trenton and Newark). Some sights from the quiet, sleepy towns of NJ:

A butterfly on a bush in Cranford, where Amy and I went to watch Ying Xiong (or “Hero,” as it’s known here).

A valley between the towering warehouse shelves of Costco.

Amy’s church in Union. Several Filipinos in the town also attend at this church for afternoon services.

At Amy’s grandma’s place, deer graze on the lawn. Great fun to see them the first few times, then it becomes a chore to chase them out of the bushes everyday.
