An Autumn Hike Near Telford, Pennsylvania

Yesterday just before dark I went for an autumn hike just off of Cathill Road near Telford, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was a good time outdoors but chilly. My fingers that held the camera and tripod were feeling a bit frozen by near the end of the walk.

A Hike at Swamp Creek Park

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 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

A 5th of July Party

On the 5th of July, many of my family and friends got together for a party over in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was a partly sunny day with an hour long shower thrown in just around mealtime. Below are some photos from the day.
