We have had a decent fall foliage show despite dry weather, but this year I have seen so many ginkgo trees stealing the show wherever they are. If you see a ginkgo changing color, it is only a matter of days till the whole tree is bright yellow and a few days later the leaves drop in what almost feels like a few hours.

The trees around the V.A. hospital are particularly stunning this year. This yellow giant dominates the landscape but is complimented nicely by the smaller trees wearing their brightest hues

This is the last of the mums I found in an overflow area where a greenhouse had been growing mums in a field. They are definitely on their way out but with the yellow trees I thought it was still pretty.

It has been a little while since we had rain around here and we could sure use some! This Shot of my Jeep Hood was taken a few weeks ago when we had a spell of rainy weather. This particular day was a fine misting rain which formed drops of every size on my polished and protected vehicle.

I think they would call this a farmette but whatever they call it, it is a lovely property and the Autumn trees add a nice accent.

This local farm produce stand sells fruits and vegetables and other delicious treats from spring till fall. Right now they are stocked with all kinds of fall decor. My favorites throughout the year include Sweet Corn, Peaches, Strawberries, Watermelon and on and on.

Not my typical posting but this is a local fair that I shot with a longer lens and a 4 second shutter speed. The funny thing is the few times I have done this, it seems there is always at least one person who is looking directly at me. In this shot there were a couple people who stood fairly still for 4 seconds and right in the mass of people there is one lady beside the big guy in the white shirt who stood fairly still and is looking at me! I am perhaps almost a football field away too.

An Amish farm is stocked with mums in every color ready for home decor.

Fall is a busy time around Lancaster county and this young fellow was doing it all from collecting the harvest to loading it and then hopping in the pickup to head to the farm.

This group of Mums were waiting at a local produce auction for the bidding to begin. They are sitting on macadam and the farm just happens to be in the background!

I shot this Aurora this past week mainly because a friend was without his car so I offered to take him to this lake. We were there about a half hour with nothing to speak of and seconds before I was going back to my vehicle to relax while he persisted, he suddenly blurts out “look to your left” and sure enough this color started to explode across the sky and reflect in the lake.

Going for a wagon ride on a hot summer day. little one on the left is yawning so sleep is coming soon.

A backroad mailbox is almost completely hidden by this lovely flowering plant.

This is my hometown after a heavy storm passed through. I headed out hoping for a rainbow which did happen although somewhat mediocre, but as I drove through town I noticed the light hitting the church and buildings on this street. The doggone wires are quite obnoxious but the lighting is cool.

Azaleas provide a pleasing border for your walk to the gazebo where you can then relax and enjoy the view.

My hometown park comes to life with various spring shades.

This church is somewhat unique with it’s A-frame design and the stained glass front is beautifully illuminated in this late evening image.

This little scene is right along the road which is barely visible on the right side. I happened past at just the right time because a few days later the weather had beat them up pretty good. This is two separate properties but I got the owners blessing and the rest is history.
