A Cold Weather Hike at Green Lane Reservoir

My wife and I went for a short hike late in the morning on January 14 at Green Lane Reservoir in Montgomery County, PA just off of Knight Road. It was another cold morning in which one needed to bundle up in several layers of clothing. Nevertheless it was a beautiful hike as demonstrated by the pictures below:

Hiking the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek

This past Tuesday, I went for a hike along the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek near Perkasie, Bucks County, PA. It was a beautiful warm day with a mixture of clouds and sun. But the spirit of autumn was in the air and all around as the following pictures will show.

 

Toadstools and More after Hurricane Irene

Today I took time to wander around the lawn at home. One of the highlights were the toadstools that sprung up as Hurricane Irene moved on. Toadstools and fungi in general fascinate me and are an item of beauty to me. So below are some of the highlights of my wanderings this afternoon. Among some of the toadstools, I  love the combination of reds, yellows, and browns.
