Okay, so I don’t much feel like taking pictures, but maybe I can motivate myself to edit and post a few. This is an image of Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge National Historical Park. It was taken earlier this winter after a snowfall that blanketed all of Southeastern Pennsylvania. It looks like another blizzard is on the way tonight & tomorrow … how many more days until spring??? I’m counting … there are 39. Spring begins March 20th.

St. Mark’s Church in Jim Thorpe, Pa. is a landmark and a very beautiful stone structure on historic Race Street. I love the red doors and arches above the stained glass windows. I originally photographed this with my soft focus filter on the camera and now when I processed it, decided that I didn’t want a soft look. So, I ran the image through Topaz Adjust using the “spicify” filter and after some fooling around in Photoshop, this is the result.

Poole Forge is an iron plantation along the Conestoga Creek in Lancaster County, Pa. that dates back to the 1700’s. The property includes the Iron Master’s Mansion, tenant houses, and a covered bridge. This image is of the mansion decorated for the holidays. I just happened to stumble upon this historic spot as I was driving around Lancaster County. I’m so happy that I stopped to explore!
