Update

Since getting this e-mail, I have had the chance to visit both the Binky Lee and ChesLen Preserves with Madison and Logan for our Family Nature Walks! (Unfortunately, Amy can join us because of her allergies!)

Again I am blown away by the fact that I have traveled past both these preserves many a times and never realized they were there, let alone how beautiful they are!

Sunsets – Week 1

As many parents know, once two siblings get together after along day, their combined energy level seems to quadruple if not more.

So with the lengthening of the days, I started to take the kids out for a late afternoon energy release at Shamona Creek Elementary here in Downingtown.

We have been here many time before, but not at sunset…

So started a personal project of trying to capture 30 days of sunsets!

Foggy Chester County Morning

The weather of the past couple of nights, has allowed for some fog to develop early in the morning, and on my way to a client, I was able to stop and take these images.

and as we know, fog is not that consistent, but when it is there, it can add to the scene.

I had photographed this scene a couple of weeks ago, when we finally had some snow, but as you can see, it has changed.

More horse with fog can also be seen here.

Since talking and working out the details on the image he selected for his Facebook page, Mayor Josh Maxwell has announced that he is running for State Representative seat in Harrisburg.

Mayor Josh Maxwell at the Victory Brewing Company Fundraiser 01

When it was announced he was having a fundraiser at the Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, I decided to bring my camera and go down to listen to what he had to say during his first fund-raiser.

Hope you enjoy!
