A fence, a red barn and fall foliage, what more could you ask for?
Autumn Farm View
Farmette and Autumn trees
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.
A Lovely Scene to Come Home Too
Trees in a variety of fall colors provide a pleasing visual when the owner drives in the lane.
Fall at the Mill
This well taken care of mill shines in the morning sun and the Golden Yellow Tree adds a nice compliment.
Local Produce Stand
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.
An Ocean of People
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.
A Sea of Mums
Autumn Splendor
An Amish farm is stocked with mums in every color ready for home decor.
Rolling into Autumn
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.
Ready to Purchase
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!
Patience Tested
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.

Autumn Color Begins
One tree has already dropped the majority of it’s leaves but the Maples are putting on a good show.
Wagon Train
Going for a wagon ride on a hot summer day. little one on the left is yawning so sleep is coming soon.
Peek a Boo, I see you!
Watching you, Watching me.

Rows, Rows, Everywhere a Row!

Lancaster County Limo Service
Big Brother takes the wheel to give his younger siblings a little summertime fun behind the zero turn.
Sister Talk
three sisters enjoy a pony cart ride and discussing the days plans.
Ladies Day Out
These sisters put on their matching pink dresses to go for a ride in the country, while their older brother in the back seat was told to sit down, shut up and hold on!
After the Storm
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.
Suspense & Suspenders
A tense competition featuring an old Steam Tractor captivates the imagination of this group of Amish suspender wearers.
A Final Gesture?
The gentleman who owned this local farm had allowed me to photograph on his property a couple times over the years. He had some custom stonework he created which resembled Castle Spires, a wishing well and other nice accents around the property. He passed away this year and within the last month I happened to drive by and see this wonderful sunflower field on his property! While I cannot say for sure this was a farewell gesture to the community, it would not surprise me in the slightest if this was the case.
