Tuesday two weeks ago, I went for a hike at Swamp Creek Park in New Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was a warm sunny delightful day to be out and about in nature. Below are some of the sights from my hike.
A view of Swamp Creek
A beautiful view along a hedgerow
A close up view
Swamp Creek Schoolhouse built circa 1850
Swamp Creek Schoolhouse bell
Pretty blooms
A fallen tree trunk with a beauty all its own
I think this might be an older schoolhouse used prior to the one built circa 1850
Schools looking like churchs, I find. Maybe, they are used as school during the week and church on sunday? The view of the creek and the picture of the trunk are both special ; I particularly like them, they are like awaked dreams.
SUMAC de VIRGINIE : now it grows everywhere here in the mountains ; it is gorgeous especially in Autumn, however it is not native in Europe
Yes, the bloom is very pretty, simple ; I like it and you managed to catch it well.
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

You know I love nature in its glory, Tim, but that school house is something else!
Being a teacher, I enjoyed seeing what schools looked many years ago. Great pictures, Tim.

Thanks, ginnie. I'm fascinated by one room schoolhouses, too.
Thanks, fred. It was fun taking these photos.
Thanks, cergie. And I'm always amazed with your knowledge of the names of plants. I always look forward to reading your comments.
