I have been seriously neglecting my blog over the past few months and mostly just uploading images directly to Facebook or Instagram from my phone.  It’s been a while since I dedicated some time to going out and photographing a particular location with my Canon 7D.  Mostly I’ve been grabbing shots here and there on my daily routine with the iPhone 7 plus.  I must admit that I do enjoy the ability to take a few images on the spur of the moment without having to carry around the Canon gear.  A few weekends ago I spent a day in historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and shot this image at Burnside Plantation using the Canon 28-70mm.  It was fun to walk around in the crisp cool air and be the only person in this spot on a chilly afternoon.  I was particularly drawn to the old barns and the weeping willow trees in the background.  They are always among the first trees to show color in Spring and even now, in December, they add some life to an otherwise drab landscape.
