Along the Tohickon Creek near Pt. Pleasant

Saturday morning, I went hiking along the Tohickon Creek near Pt. Pleasant, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was a mostly cloudy morning but warm enough for me to hike in sandals though wearing a lightweight windbreaker jacket.

Hi, san nakji. Isn't it interesting the associations we make to what is "home"?

Thanks photowannabe. The power of water is impressive and the last one is one of my favorites, too.

Thanks, moi. You're right - it is a pleasant area to be in. And I think a lot of people are partial to the last photo in this post. :)

Thanks, ginnie. Each season has its beauty. But I'm ready for Spring and for all the green and other colors it brings now. :)

Thanks, annie. It was a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of nature and soothe one's soul.

Thanks, sage. It's suppose to get colder here tomorrow, too; but not that cold. We're suppose to get rain and maybe a thunderstorm but no snow.

Thanks, anna. Glad you enjoyed the pics.; 4/03/2007 08:22:00 PM
