I got a mixed bag of looks from this Amish group as they headed into town to enjoy heritage days. One smiled and waved and the one on the right kind of gave me the stare down from this rather fancy carriage.

All Decked Out
The fourth of July is a time to reflect,as well as a time to enjoy with family and friends, and one local town near me does its best to celebrate in grand fashion.That town is Lititz,Pa and it seems everyone gets into the patriotic spirit in town as the old red,white and blue proudly waves all over town. Most photos shown are from the Moravian church that has made a tradition of placing thousands of flags across the grounds in neatly lined rows,and the rest include a funeral home done very tastefully and a flag lined main thoroughfare.
Heritage Days2
This group of Amish teens head down main street in Intercourse as they get ready to enjoy heritage days at the local park. They ended up at Ritas Italian ice for a treat. The one young lady is holding a cell phone which I never thought I would see in my lifetime.
Heritage Days
One local community in Amish country holds what is called heritage days every year in the towns park and I usually drive around the area trying to get images of folks heading to the event. You would never know it by this image but it was getting very late and was very dark when I saw this scene coming together and it forced me to shoot at 2000 iso almost wide open. It is kinda noisy in a large version but still I loved the girls waving to the guys coming up the road as they headed to heritage days.
