Remnant of Ole’

Living in Chester County has a home town feel.    Walking the streets after a fresh snow and catching a glimpse of the past holiday season. The quiet peace of the neighborhoods still donning the remnants of Christmas.   The snow shimmering from the greens.    As winter sets in more of the same cold and…

Sunflower Smiles

Late summer sets in and the fall flowers arrive.  Sunflowers are tall and majestic and seem to have their own personality.    These flowers so speak to me as they smile and wave in the sunshine.A very clever business owner used a plot of land next to his business and planted hundreds of sunflowers. He…

Relics of Ole

Hiking in Chester County has many hidden treasures.   Stumbling upon this relic of ole was amazing.   Hidden from view in the summer months, this treasure has a history. A basement, wall are three stones deep with a mud smooth surface on the inside.  The structure hidden by vines and overgrown trees speaks of…

Italian Market

Philadelphia has a lot of cool neighborhoods but one that I stumbled upon brought light to an older part of the city still revered. The hustle and bustle of the day was full of energy.  People had a mission, get those staples for their pantry, those treasured gifts only found in this party of the…

Fresh Air and Sunshine

Its always a fun afternoon with Maggie.    My partner in crime, a puppy  exploring nature and all the wonderful smells the local trail has to offer. Beautiful afternoon in late November, leaves crunch under foot.  The creek is cold but oh so fun to explore.    Miles of hiking through the woods, sticks to…

Chrysanthemums

Mums are the transition from pumpkins and scarecrows.    Surrounded by these beautiful flowers, though surprisingly they produce no scent.    Their colors, shapes and sizes are amazing.  The red tree, mum is actually one plant – what an incredible exhibit! I get lost behind the lens of the camera and these are just a…

Fall in Small Town

Beautiful fall day, leaves are changing, with mums enhancing the yards and the pumpkins are out. The local neighborhood children all came out for the Halloween parade. Yards are decorated for the season ~ ready for the scary ghosts and goblins. and of course skeletons …          

CF Winery

Lazy afternoon sipping wine with friends.    Sundays are meant to be relaxing and this was lovely. Red, white, blush ~ it didn’t matter.    Sounds of music floated through the air and laughter filled the day. Cheers!

Cambridge

Cambridge is a little town in Maryland.   Its beautiful with the boats at the dock but the sea was rough. Love exploring, seeing nature pure and simple.    Water has no boundaries and when the seas get rough, the water finds it own path. And the ducks thoroughly loved this weather!

Rails and Trails

Sundays are days to explore, stop the routine of daily life and wander the area.   It is amazing the sights we fail to see that are all around us.    Step outside of ourselves, put  a camera in hand and capture those moments in time. Lines, textures shapes ~ all come together as a…

MINI Adventure 2

Labor Day weekend ~ beautiful sunshine, crisp morning air what better time for a grand adventure through the countryside. Hot air balloon launching, light jackets needed and the top down on the Mini! Co-pilot duties are to laugh, keep the driver from missing the turns and take photos!

Clydesdale Parade

Special end of summer visit by the Clydesdale Horses ~ they have character and personality. Just like kids, they have a playfulness about them.   The horses pull it together when they are on parade but they push each other too! And who can forget the dalmatian ~ this dog is loved!   Its been…
