Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is a wonderful place to visit during the holiday season. I spent a few hours in the city capturing the historic downtown that was all decked out for Christmas. I’ll share a few favorite images over the next couple of days. These two photos were taken in the Historic Hotel Bethlehem on Main Street. They go all out with gorgeous decorations both indoors and out. The best part about the Hotel Bethlehem is that it is a pet friendly hotel!

Do you remember any of these bottling/beverage companies from days gone by? This was a sign posted at a vendor stand that was selling drinks at The Bloomsburg Fair. I’m always interested in seeing how companies represent their brand, so all of the different logos, color choices and font styles caught my eye. A logo is a company’s face to the world – their identity. It can be memorable and long-lasting or it can be blah! It can have graphics or just be a type style. It can have no words at all and yet everyone recognizes it as the logo of a particular company. For example, the Nike swoosh. Who doesn’t recognize that corporate trademark? And more currently – the Facebook logo – just a simple blue square with a white “f” inside. Simple, but totally identifiable!

I love seeing all of the water droplets on plants and flowers … and in this case the fuzzy ends of decorative grasses … after a rainstorm. Mother Nature creates art all around us. We just have to keep our eyes open and be looking for it!

Ghost signs or “brickads” are advertisements that were painted on brick walls of buildings and very common in the decades before The Great Depression. Here’s one for Horlacher Beer that I came across while traveling through rural Pennsylvania. The Horlacher Brewing Company of Allentown, Pa. began in 1897, shut down during prohibition, reopened in 1933, and eventually closed in 1978. The paint may be chipping and the weeds growing high, but ghost signs can still be found if you look for them.

Here are a few more favorite images from the Wheels of Time car show.
I just love the pastel colored cars …. pink, turquoise, yellow, teal, etc. I would LOVE to have a pink car!
Henry Winkler. His reality show, “Better Late Than Never”, is laugh-out-loud funny! Tuesday at 10:00 on NBC.
Red, white and FUN!
