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?

Wreaths Of Respect

 A field of stone honoring our fallen soldiers in the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg National Military Park located in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. There 500 fallen soldiers buried within the park. Christmas wreaths are placed every year on each tomb stone for the holiday, showing as a nation and county, we never forget.

Jingle Bell Ride

Spreading holiday cheer and riding ponies all wrapped up into one cold morning. Pony Up LLC of New Oxford set out to spread cheer in housing developments in New Oxford Saturday.Even Santa Claus saddled up for the ride.

Sunflowers Galore

It's not everyday you come across a field full of a million sunflowers in Pennsylvania.....so what to do with this opportunity, shoot a beautiful woman in the middle of it, and topless of course!

Two strategically placed sunflowers keeps this image rated PG13.

Autumn Snow

The calendar says Autumn, but the view is a bit wintry looking. A small snowstorm hit the our area on Thanksgiving eve dropping about 5 inches of the dreaded white stuff covering up the remaining fall colors.

Humback Bridge

This beautiful piece of architectural is located on Stone Bridge Road between Hanover and New Oxford in Adams County Pennsylvania. I know very little history on it other than its old and beautiful. I plan to continue researching some history on it and will update this post when I find new information. This image is posted pretty much "as is" it was captured with the camera. The camera settings were ISO 200, F3,5 and 1/160th. The only processing in Photoshop was a bit of color adjustment and slight sharpening.

Boo-T-Ful Witchy Braya

This little darling four year old girl came walking past me dressed in her Halloween costume Thursday afternoon while I was enjoying an iced coffee at the New Oxford Coffee Company. Her beautiful smile was too much to not ask her and her aunt if I could take her picture for my blog page. Having permission, utilizing New Oxford's oldest home's  front porch fall decorations for a backdrop. My new little friend Braya just made my day with her modeling skills. Her aunt is also a photographer, In Bloom Photography, so go show her some love, visit her FaceBook page.
