Doesn’t this porch look inviting? A perfect spot to spend a summer afternoon with a good book and a glass of lemonade. This scene is from “somewhere in Lancaster County, Pa.”. I love to turn off the GPS and just drive without paying attention to where I am or where I’m going. That’s when you come upon hidden treasures to photograph!

Yes! If I could trade my pearly white Subaru in for a pink one I would do it in a heartbeat! They just don’t make cars in pretty girly colors anymore! That’s why I enjoy going to car shows and photographing the pink, turquoise, mint green, lemon yellow, teal, and other pretty colored cars from days gone by! I could see this one sitting in my driveway right now……….

This is the first water lily bloom in my pond this season and keeping the flower company was a cute little grasshopper sitting on a lily pad. I shot this image with the Lensbaby Velvet 56 and added a little painting effect to soften the image even more. For me, the softer the better!

Each year, a lovely Cape Cod style home in Tamaqua, Pa. draws visitors from far and wide to admire their Spring garden. Affectionately known as “The Tulip House”, thousands upon thousands of tulips, hydrangea, and other Spring flowers bloom in a chorus of picturesque color! The garden is mapped out and each bulb placed by hand in a new design every year. The home and gardens are the pride and joy of the Kehlor Family and a visit should be on your list of must-see places in Pennsylvania!

When I looked at these bare trees in the midst of what seems like the longest winter ever, the word that came to mind was “craggy”. To me it means rough and disheveled looking, but thought I’d search an online dictionary to be sure. Merriam-Webster’s first definition was “having many crags”. Well, that doesn’t help much …. what is a crag? The second definition hit the nail on the head….”rough in a way that suggests strength”. Yep, that’s what I was going for!
