Reports are that an “historic” winter storm is headed our way tomorrow. We had about 6 inches of snow on Friday night/Saturday and the forecast for the coming week shows snow almost every day. I am dreading it already! Time for some ‘comfort food’! Yesterday after shoveling snow I made chicken soup and curled up on the couch to watch a movie! I have a feeling that there will be more of the same in the week to come! Stay safe everyone!

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is a treasure to photograph. Around every corner you will find sweeping landscapes, farms, old barns, interesting people and animals. I don’t have the opportunity to visit often enough, but plan to venture in that direction a bit more in 2015. Here’s a photo from November that I am just now revisiting to edit and post. I love, love, LOVE the lines, angles and colors in this scene. Well worn wood is a favorite subject of mine!

I have always enjoyed photographing the curves and lines on classic cars. In my opinion, the cars of today don’t offer much in the line of photo ops. I can’t imagine current models ending up one day in a “classic car show” as they don’t seem to have that special something like the cars of the 1940’s and 1950’s! Sorry car manufacturers, not impressed!

I came across Major M.J. Moyer’s trunk and can’t help but wonder about the history and stories that this trunk could tell. I’m not sure who Major Moyer is, but I was drawn to photographing the textures of the buckles and handle. My dad had a similar trunk when in the Marines and each time I see it I think of him and how brave he was as a young man to enlist in the service during World War II. His war stories were few as I am sure that they brought back painful memories of things that he would rather not recall. Still his bravery shines like a beacon and when I am having what I consider to be a tough day, I think about the years that he spent in the South Pacific and my challenges seem insignificant. Thank you to all who have served our country.

The past few days my inbox has been filled with blessings and happy news as well as sadness. I’ve shed tears for both and always find that being out in nature calms my soul. I spent some time over the weekend enjoying the colorful foliage which included this reflection of trees in the lake. It’s so important to spend time with those you love as much as possible. All of those things that we think we must accomplish (but aren’t really all that important!) can wait because life is fleeting.
