Okay, people, this is the first in my alphabetically triggered blogs, in response to the gauntlet cast down at my feet. (For more, see the “Challenge Accepted” blog recently posted.) So, after some consideration, I decided to write about Archeology. Whoa. Archeology? Why? Certain readers, those who know me after a fashion, may be thinking,ContinueContinue reading “A is for Archeology”

I Smell Snow
Some of you might recognize that line as coming from Lorelai Gilmore’s mouth in the much loved (or hated–it was one of those shows that pushed a person one way or the other–I don’t know anyone who watched it and came out of the experience middle-of-the-road) Gilmore Girls. Me? I’m one of the former. IContinueContinue reading “I Smell Snow”
Country Road
I live on a country road. I once prepared a photo essay about this road for submission to a magazine because, to me, it represents a great deal of the beauty to be found in Lehigh County, all on one and a half miles of narrow, curving asphalt. One can find woods and farm landContinueContinue reading “Country Road”
It’s a Love-Hate Thing…
Well, sort of, anyway. The past few years, I have found driving in the snow a bit annoying, especially when the weather is unexpected, the roads aren’t cleared, cars are in places they have no business being, and a one to one-and-a-quarter hour commute from work to home can take upwards of four. But IContinueContinue reading “It’s a Love-Hate Thing…”
Lehigh County – when the levee breaks…
There was no levee. I only liked the sound of it as a title, while the Led Zeppelin song played in my head. What broke loose was a raincloud of immense capacity, which caused the worst flooding of the Hosensack Creek that I have seen in the nearly two decades I’ve lived here. My neighbor saidContinueContinue reading “Lehigh County – when the levee breaks…”
Lehigh County – After the Rain
A short ride from my home (or an ambitious walk) is a view across the valley to the hills. In this photo the hills are blue with distance, although on sunny days one might find them green with the trees that clothe them. A short downpour had just ended as I arrived and I happily climbed from myContinueContinue reading “Lehigh County – After the Rain”
Lehigh County – Into the Wild
As stated in my prior brief blog (Roadside Ferns – the photograph of which is above and will be used as the feature image for the Lehigh County blog), I am sharing the beauty and history of Lehigh and areas nearby. This photo is among my favorites, and was taken some years back right on my veryContinueContinue reading “Lehigh County – Into the Wild”
Lehigh County – Roadside Ferns
I have decided to add to my regular blogging with an active photographic journal of my little section of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. I want to share the beauty and history of this place where I have been fortunate enough to reside for almost twenty years. I will even venture a little beyond Lehigh’s boundaries (photographically, I mean) to nearby areas where otherContinueContinue reading “Lehigh County – Roadside Ferns”
Saturday’s Adventure or, Apparently, All Roads Lead to Hell
Well, not hell, exactly. Unless hell is lush and green and sparsely populated… Hell, in this instance, was not a location, but the Twilight Zone experience of my ride this morning to the Lehighton area. My fault, it was pointed out, for trusting the GPS. But the purpose of a GPS is navigation and soContinueContinue reading “Saturday’s Adventure or, Apparently, All Roads Lead to Hell”
Peony Perfection
I’m a little behind in my blogging, but I thought I would share these two photos of lovely white blooms I brought indoors a couple of weeks back. Alas, the bountiful rain and hot, humid days have all but eliminated my peonies outdoors. Those flowers I placed in a green glass container (as I had noContinueContinue reading “Peony Perfection”
