Tulips Around Town

The beginning of this past week I took a walk around part of the town of Souderton. This particular post is focusing on some of the tulips that were blooming then. I find peace and beauty in them and in the Creator who made them.

The Moon In Souderton, Pennsylvania

Last night after I came home from a Live Your Calling Discovery Group session, I took some time to photograph the moon. The moon had been really large in the sky but till I got my camera out and set up it had already decreased somewhat in size. Nevertheless, I thought it was still beautiful. The last photo was a slow shutter speed and the second photo was cropped before making it the same pixel width as the other photos here.

Views at Nockamixon State Park

Yesterday in the early evening hours I went hiking at Nockamixon State Park on the Bedminster side branching off of Kellers Church Road. It was a beautiful sunny and breezy evening. The weather was so warm that I chose to ware sandals and shorts. And it was good that I did so as many sections of the trails were muddy and covered with large water puddles. Below are photos of some of the sights I saw along the way.

Around Home

Recently, I haven't been able to get out on hikes too much for a variety of reasons. So today I took a walk around my apartment building vacinity to see what I could find. The pictures below are some of nature's beauties that I found.


I like the rosish red color of the tops of these plants


Many people consider dandelions to be just weeds. But I remember when I was little how I liked to take dandelion flowers and color people's noses yellow. I still like these bright yellow flowers. And their leaves when still young taste so good when in the proper sauce.

Niagara Falls

As some of my readers know I ocassionally post photos from vacations I took many years in the past. The photos below were taken probably around twenty years ago when I went on a houseboating vacation in Ontario, Canada. This stop at Niagara Falls, Canada side, I think was before we reached our houseboating location. These photos were not selected for their photographic excellence but for the memories of a good time. If you have not been to the Niagara Falls, Canada side, it is definitely worth a visit.
