Rain soaks the area and brings ominous-looking clouds
The sun was out on Wednesday in Millburn-Short Hills, but rain drops did fall. In fact around 5 p.m., a downpour moved through the area, including downtown Millburn. And as quickly the rain started, it stopped. Brett Biebelberg shot these photos as the storm clouds moved into Millburn-Short Hills this afternoon. He was traveling from Taylor Park to the Springfield border at Millburn Avenue and Morris Turnpike and took the photos periodically during his trip. We're looking for your views of Millburn-Short Hills through your camera lens for our "Millburn-Short Hills Scenes" photo series. Send scenic photos with an explanation to jen@patch.com. We'll feature your work on Millburn-Short Hills Patch.

The river is rough and in some spots causing ponding on Brookside
Thursday's heavy rains caused for the water to be rough along the West Branch of the Rahway River, including in South Mountain Reservation. In some spots the reservation's ponds flowed over into the roadway, causing some ponding. There were other spots of ponding on Brookside in the reservation, although not near the river, and there was ponding on some other roadways in Millburn-Short Hills. We're looking for your views of Millburn-Short Hills through your camera lens for our "Millburn-Short Hills Scenes" photo series. Send scenic photos with an explanation to jen@patch.com.

Show us a unique side of your hometown
Driving around town at all hours of the day, I've noticed there's a unique, diverse beauty to Millburn-Short Hills. That beauty can provide opportunities for spectacular photography. An example is the photograph you see here. I shot this photo (with a point-and-shoot camera) while standing in the Taylor Street parking lot Monday evening walking to my car before heading to the Board of Education meeting. It's the spire of First Baptist Church peeking above the trees shadowed against the sunset. I want to highlight scenic photos like this one. I know there are some wonderful photographers in Millburn-Short Hills and many people carry their cameras with them. If you see something special, take a photo. Then send it to us via e-mail at jen@…

Millburn Avenue was a crowded scene
Crowds of people filtered down a closed Millburn Avenue Sunday to visit the annual Street Fair and Craft Show, which is sponsored by the Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Commerce. Vendors lined the streets selling crafts or services, and community organizations were on hand to provide information. There was plenty to eat ranging from hot dogs and hamburgers to funnel cakes and fried Oreos. There were pony rides for children and music to entertain the crowds.

Temperatures are again going to be in the 70s on Saturday, which means the parks and playgrounds will be crowded. Temperatures will be cooler on Sunday.
