Winter in Yardley, Pennsylvania: Landscape Photographs

“The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where 

we can go as we are and not be questioned.” 

Maya Angelou

Yardley, Pennsylvania is the place my family calls "home." What really makes it special are the many valuable connections that have formed over the years: friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, acquaintances, etc. What follows are a collection of my new landscape photographs, all taken during December, 2016 and January, 2017.  This is my way of saying a very big "thank you" to all of those in our local community who enrich our lives.

At a moment in history in which its easy to feel divided, I think of a verse from another Maya Angelou poem:

I note the obvious differences

between each sort and type

but we are more alike, my friends,

than we are unalike...

January Mornings in Bucks County, Pennsylvania: Winter Landscape Photographs

Over the past three weeks, I've spent several mornings photographing a few of my favorite spots in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  This winter has certainly been far milder than last year - our boys have not missed and school due to "snow days," and I have yet to contend with my annual struggle to get our snowblower running.  That said, many mornings this winter I left my house with my camera and tripod when the thermometer was between 15 and 20 degrees.  These are pretty chilly temperatures to be manipulating the dials on my Canon.  Often I get pretty engrossed in what I'm doing and lose track of the fact that my fingers and toes are pretty darn cold.  Below are some of my new winter images.  To see more of my photographs, visit my ETSY SHOP.  To see images of last winter, click WINTER 2014 - No. 1 and WINTER 2014 - No. 2.
