The Old Ball park

Spring is less than 35 days away and that means places like these need to thaw out and prepare for the rush of youth enjoying America's past time....little league baseball. For every over paid millionaire they all started on a field such as this one some where in the world. I played on this field when it was brand new way back in the mid 1970's, today, its only a wee bit fancier than when I played here, we didn't even have a fence to hit the ball over, we got all we could get on the long hits.

Old High School

Known as the old Peter Street High School in New Oxford, many of our older generation folks attended classes in this old gem of a building. Today it houses the New Oxford Borough decision makers as well as the library. I spent my summers here as a youth in summer camps, playing sports, and other events held my long time New Oxford High School teacher Mr. Ted Hise. 

Barns Delight

Every time I pass this old barn I always admire it, and almost every time I have a planned out door photo shoot with someone, I end up using this as a setting. I am not sure what it is about it, the peeling paint, the faded red paint, the overgrown vine attached, I juts love it. 

Winter Sky

They're not all grey and gloomy in Pennsylvania this time of the year, sometimes the beautiful blue sky peaks through and makes for a gorgeous sky. 

Still Standing

Oh the stories this canon could tell if it was able to speak. Can you imagine how many men it witnessed die a horrible death. Today, we would never leave our weapons on the battlefield, we would either retrieve them or destroy them so they do not fall into the enemies hands. Thankfully for history buffs, they left their weapons in place mostly when the battle ended in 1863.

Homeland Security

Spent the morning walking my camera around Adams County and came across this view on the battlefield in Gettysburg. I couldn't help but wonder, how different the battle of Gettysburg may have gone had it been fought in January verses July. I would guess the outcome the same with the north winning, but would it have been as bloody?

A Boy And His Olaf

Adam wanted a picture of himself and his Olaf. He just walked away from the family picture and stood....waiting!
