Just Five More Minutes

previous / next

This is also from Marsh Creek. It was shot at about 8:50 PM in the last few minutes of waning light as I was walking back to the car after the Park Rangers had come to chase us all away. I would have loved to just sit there a few more minutes. The girl standing in the water was reluctant to leave as well. Who could blame us?

News Flash

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

Dockside Dusk

previous / next

This is another shot from Marsh Creek Park taken at about 8:45 PM about 15 minutes later than the previous photo. I love how the color shifts at dusk. It's like an ever changing painting.

Do Not Disturb

previous / next

This was shot last Friday evening at about 8:30 PM in Downingtown PA. I went to the Eagle Gallery to see Betsy Barron at the opening of her group show. She is such a sweet person and just a pleasure to meet. I really enjoyed talking to her and seeing some of her beautiful prints. They are indeed beautiful.

She told me about this beautiful little park that is just around the corner from the Eagle Gallery and she mentioned that sunset is particularly beautiful there. It was late but I caught a little bit of light and a few photos before the Park Rangers chased us out. Some day I will have to go back.

I found this little birdhouse with it's lovely view of the park to be quite amusing with it's "Do Not Disturb" warning penned on the outside. There were several like it with #'s. I do not know what kind of birds are or were nested in them. They certainly had some prime real estate with great views though.

The Engineer

previous / next

This was shot the same day as this shot. This was the engineer for the New Hope Ivyland train the day that I was there a couple of weeks ago. He was doing his inspection of the engine while the it was taking water and preparing for its next run.

I haven't been out to shoot in quite a while, since I was sick. All of my cued-up archive shots somehow don't seem to fit for me right now so I am running out of things I want to post. I think I will have to deal with that this weekend, or maybe even tomorrow. We are supposed to get some snow!

Heart and Soul-More Street Photography




I am continuing with some more candid street shots. It's not something I do very often but I thought I should do more of these since they really give a view into the diversity that I experience every day in my travels around the area I live, work, and play.

This was shot on Saturday in Peddler's Village PA, which is a touristy, and beautiful, shopping village in Lahaska, Buck's County PA. Even though I don't live in PA, I do spend a lot of time there. I have since I was a little girl. I have friends and family there so it definitely feels like home to me. I was passing through Lahaska when I saw they were having their anual Scarecrow Competition and Festival in Peddler's Village, so I though I would just stop in and have a look. I hadn't been there in years for the festival and thought it could be fun.

At the festival, besides all the fun and creative scarecrows, there were also all manner of street entertainers. I got there really late so most of them were packing up for the day. I did have the pleasure of coming across these fantastic musicians. They had a table set up with some of the most beautiful instruments I'd ever seen. They drew quite a crowd with their musical talent as they played some of the same instruments that they had for sale.

I feel awful because I forgot to grab a card for this pair of wonderful musicians. In reality I should have bought one of their CD's but I was short on cash so I didn't, figuring I could contact them later to purchase but I don't have their card and don't remember their names. I will say that the music was soulful and very moving. Just beautiful. If anyone out there knows who they are please, please, tell me. I tried doing a search but got nowhere with it. I plan on calling the shop where they were set up in front of to ask if they know. I will update this post with the information.

Abandoned Canoe

This was shot last fall near New Hope Pennsylvania and quite frankly I forgot I even had it. It was one I had meant to post way back when I took it. I think this canoe had fallen victim to one of the many floods suffered by the area in recent years. It was petty banged up.
