Cold Weather Hike at Nockamixon State Park

This past Wednesday the fourth I went on a cold weather hike at Nockamixon State Park on the Quakertown, Bucks County, PA side. The temperatures that morning had hit a low of at least 9 degrees Fahrenheit and never went above freezing that day. But there was beauty to be seen and I was feeling blessed by nature that morning. Below are some scenes from my experience that day.

Fungi fascinates me and in winter time even more so.

A Hike at Nockamixon State Park

Back on November 2, I went for hike at Nockamixon State Park on the Bedminster Township, Bucks County, PA side of it. It started out as a somewhat foggy morning but developed into a beautiful, sunny, and warm day. Below are a few photos from that hike reflecting some of the last days of autumn. It was a great time to lose one's self in nature and let the world fly by.

Hiking the West Side - Nockamixon State Park

This past Saturday late afternoon, I enjoyed spending time enjoying autumn at Nockamixon State Park in Bucks County, PA on the Quakertown side. Late Sunday evening, my wife and I returned there briefly. The pictures below reflect some of our time there. Both days were delightfully sunny and warm with bright blue skies.
