Minquas Fire Company Open House

My son and I were out doing Saturday errands, when we happened by the Minquas Fire Company Open House, and what boy could resist Firetrucks…

We spent about a half-hour wandering around, looking at the various pieces of equipment, and being very thankful, that these folks are under 5 minutes away from my home!

Later in the evening, I got a Facebook mail from the folks at the station house, asking if they could use the photo I took during the Super Moon for their Facebook profile.

I quickly responding by saying Yes!

Stylized Hay Bales

Folks that live in Chester County, or anywhere hay is harvested, have seen bale after bale just lying in fields.

So on this rainy day, I decided to take a second look at some of my images in my collection…

I am going to have to keep this technique in mind for future use!

If you are interested in how I processed these images, please let me know!

GPS Drive – Northern CC

Today, I got out for a GPS drive, to see what had happen after our quick little rain storm that passed through yesterday.

During the height of the storm, the larger than normal black walnuts in our back yard, where falling like small little cluster bombs, hitting the back deck with great thuds, while colorful leaves swirled in the air.

I did have concern that I would miss the fall colors because of this storm, but as I drove around, I did find that many areas in northern Chester County still had a fair amount of green leaves, but not for long.

This is my favorite time of the year for colors, and the GPS drives are just starting!

Hope you enjoy!
