A gazebo stands out against the bright white foliage, which was the result of infrared.

Two views of the same Victorian home shot in infrared.

A powerful sky provides a nice backdrop for this local church. Wish I had shot this in infrared.

Two different views from area cemeteries honoring those who served our nation.The bottom image features flags placed by strangers who have visited the grave of Richard Winters. Major Winters was a decorated ww11 veteran who was featured in the HBO series,Band of Brothers. The net has much more info on this decorated soldier.

According to legend, cows usually lay down if its going to rain, so even though skies looked threatening,the herd of cows were not buying it. The spacing is what caught my eye initially.

An Amish mom takes a stroll down the farm lane along with her girls riding a scooter and a tricycle.

This is the time of year that fields appear striped due to using plastic to jump-start certain crops. I am not an expert on the technique but i think the plastic holds extra moisture to help young plants.

Ever hear the phrase-till the cows home?  Well here in Pa,they just came home and I have no idea what was going on till they came home,but you can relax now. This is an udderly worthless photo,but that’s how it goes.

This Lancaster county scene caught my eye with the colorful mustard fields blooming and the occasional buggy passing by. I captured one buggy coming toward me and another headed the other direction which gave two slightly varied vantage points. I like each about the same.

As with any competitive sport, tempers can flare when the action gets intense. These young Amish girls took the back yard for a game of croquet and the event started out friendly enough,but the mallets quickly started flying at a fever pitch,and finally one participant gestured in disgust at an illegal move.

This series shows an Amish crew at work in the fields. First they use a machine to create these round bales and then the shrink wrapper loads a bale and in a minutes time,it is encased in plastic.this is becoming more commonplace and the obnoxious white bales are stacked near the farm,and are an eyesore as far as I am concerned but it does keep the product safe.

Lawn mowing season is in full swing and jakeys mower delivery service is running at full capacity. This particular load included two mowers and the drivers vehicle met all Dept of transportation regulations for weight,height and width.

Stripes of yellow mustard grow in this farm field.

Late evening sun sidelights a lovely pink dogwood.

This tiny little flower will always be among my favorites, probably because it is one of the first subjects I captured with my macro lens many years ago.

A typical spring day with ever-changing weather.

A flower that reminds me of a tiny lantern.

The old ram cocks his head to make sure his eyes are not deceiving him and sure enough they are not. The youngster up high may try an aerial attack if he gets a chance.

Take your shoes off,sit back and enjoy the ride in my custom three seat ride. Homemade root beer is available at the shed.

A huge Victorian home is alive with activity and a cutout witch hangs over the porch.

Anyone who visits my blog has seen this home a few times. It was for sale,and started at 5 million,went to 3 million,then 1.5million,and recently listed at 850,000 and finally sold for possibly less.The realtor commented it was functionally obsolescent,hence the low price. The buyer got a great deal in my opinion.glad to see it found a new family.

Too much head butting sent this old-timer to the local chiropractor for an adjustment. The youngster is fresh out of medical school and ready to show the old goat his moves.

This Amish boy and girl are at the local watering hole to spend some quiet time with one another and a rod and reel.As the tale unfolds,his confidence is very shaky,so she puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder and says I believe in your ability to land one, and just like that he has a tug on the line.She says I told you so and then with a bit of apprehension she moves in to watch him take it off the hook.Shot with a 500mm from a good distance.
