Got a rare chance to get out shooting today. The meetup group had an outing in which we visited 7 covered bridges in Chester county and upper Maryland and Delaware.
The day was really nice, but it got warm in the afternoon.
The spring foliage is so bright green…
An HDR shot to show some of the inner structure.
This was near Valley Forge park…
Another HDR shot to show the inner structure.
This bridge was no longer in service and gated on both sides.
Nice little bridge on “Covered Bridge Road”…
Again, the spring foliage is really lush.
None of these bridges are copies of the others…
Another HDR photo to show the inner workings…
This was the longest of the bridges.
It looked like it was recently updated…
Almost like new.
The giant old beams are so interesting…
The HDR photos really show up the inside of the bridges… Using HDR to lighten the inside of the bridge is so convenient. It would take an amazing amount of lights to be able to do this normally.
Another great outing with the photo meetup group…

Got a chance to go out and shoot with the local photography meetup group. We visited several covered bridges after a night of a dusting of snow.
Water reflection and snow just makes this shot…

Cats are so easy to photograph. They can sometimes seem like they are modeling.
This guy is such a coconut. They say that, out of all the animal pictures on the net, the cat takes the most. He likes having his picture taken and can come up with some expressions…

I had a chance to travel with a friend to the middle of Pennsylvania. There is a bed and breakfast there that is really unusual. But, unusual in a good way. The view is very scenic. This is a spot for horse lovers. The country charm and views are outstanding.
Has your typical barn and silo. All the necessary ingredients for some great photography.
And, the little pond across the way is picturesque in the sunrise. The rooms are incredible, to say the least. Nice place to relax, take some pictures and enjoy the country…

Pretty healthy snow storm over the last day. Somewhere around 22″ of snow. One question…
Is my truck under all of that??? All I can say is… I’ll be home (David, Panama) for Christmas, if only for a week. It’ll be so nice to get back. It’s been almost a year and a half since I’ve been back. Meanwhile, this is a clever diversion…

The Christmas lights in snow are always spectacular.
Nice display, but with the snow… close to spectacular…
Okay… who ordered the snow for Christmas? It really sets of the lights just perfect…

Okay… up north they have this white stuff that falls from the sky. I haven’t been up here for over 20 years. They’re forecasting at least 11 inches of snow.
The snow is colder than I remember. It’s also less fun.
This is an HDR shot of the same scene. Well, this coming week, I’ll be home, in David for Christmas. It’ll be so nice to get back.
