This old truck has been placed at the entrance to a local park for the last few holiday seasons and serves as a photo spot to capture the season with family and friends. The snow was light but it clung to trees in an awesome show. This little dusting caught me off guard with it’s beauty and I set a new late night shooting record by staying out till three in the morning. To be honest I actually should have shot till the sun came up because there were tons of opportunities but I am not exactly the young stud I used to be!

I photograped this church that is celebrating it’s 275th anniversary. I captured this a week before the actual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, which was most certainly even more beautiful than this!

A light snow provides a nice accent to this photo showing the local hometown bank decorated for the season.

Let me first say I have been trying to access my site for the last month and only now could do it on my tablet so my apologies!

Hopefully this method works for now! As I have in the past I went out on Christmas Eve to see if I could find any nice scenes despite no snow around. You might be thinking who does this on a night when you should be home celebrating with family? Well this time of year is when depression seems to rear it’s head and for me keeping busy distracts my mind from dwelling on negative things! So now we can move on to this lovely porch scene. This was a scene I noticed in the quaint small town of LItitz, Pa as I was heading home and I simply decided to stop and knock. It was getting late but I was pleasantly surprised when the owner answered the door and gave me her blessing. For the next 45 minutes I lit the scene to capture it in all it’s beautifully decorated style. Hopefully I will be able to share more of my seasonal images despite the login troubles.

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.
