A young Amish lad waits patiently for the rest of the family to head out in the buggy.

This is the kind of shot I really enjoy capturing because it is spontaneous, very fleeting and a moment you never see coming till it unfolds right in front of you. I managed to snap seven quick images from the car of them picking dandelions, before they noticed me and that was all she wrote.Everything came together in this brief moment,from their positions to the tree framing them in the background.

Unique architecture adds to the ambiance on a wet spring day.

I wish I owned this thing just so I could haul it around and photograph it. I am not sure why you would let something so nice sit outside in the rain when there is a barn thirty feet away but what do I know? There is a second carriage located here that looks like it was made for cinderella and I shot that a while back. If you want to see that shot,search my site for The stroke of midnight. Again it is hard to pick which version I like best.

This compact model can actually fit under the bar.I guess it is the Amish equivalent of the smart car.

Three Amish boys huddle under one umbrella as they head to church services on a rainy sunday.

Dusk settles in at this farm in rural Lancaster county and the lights come on to add a warm touch on a cool evening.

If you have dandelion in your yard and think it is a problem, consider this farm field and you might have a different outlook. Should check back in a week and see if all those seeds took hold.

Passed this property in the rain and was drawn to the lighted lanterns at the entrance.

I think I actually like the black and white over the color in this instance.

Two young Amish girls discuss where they are going to sit to watch the guys play softball.

This Lancaster county farm field is a lovely mix of green and yellow.

This is a shot I took last Christmas and actually forgot to work on. So in the process of archiving files,I came across the almost forgotten shot. It was an involved shot and I almost dreaded working on it, but the owners were so nice the night I shot it, I felt compelled to finish it,even if it is several months late.

Azaleas are in full bloom on this property. A rainy day had the colors saturated and rich and using an umbrella kept the camera dry.

A local museum is holding an exhibit on dinosaurs and they had two on display outside. They had a motion sensor which complicated things for me because I often shoot multiple exposures and visitors kept stopping and setting the thing in motion. It was very natural in the way it moved. The two versions shown were shot in infrared for the black and white version and color for the version where I lit everything with flash.

A variety of VWs are lined up for spectators to enjoy at the recent HAVOC VW show. Skies looked a little threatening but the rain held off making for a great show.

This VW was one that caught my eye at the show. It had a beautiful blue color and a picnic basket under the hood. It was shined up to the hilt for the event.
