Hanging with the squirrels at a frozen Longs ParkPosted by: Chris dlgr in Almanac, Pictures, hobbies, nature, parkI was disappointed to hear that a local privately own business was shutting down, soon. the gas station and mini market I frequent on my way to work… another casualty of the economy.
~ The Eastern Gray Squirrels are everywhere in Lancaster. and pretty much everywhere in the North East U.S. the are about a foot long, extremely clever. They can break into any well defended bird feeder. * The great thing about amateur photography is that it is a relatively cheap hobby. So are outdoor hobbies such as walking in the park. ~ Start Gallery Slide Show

Building Character and making Wrapping PaperPosted by: Chris dlgr in Almanac, Lancaster, Pictures, city, lifeI never have been very good with Arts and Crafts, but I’m always willing to try something new for fun. Last week I went into Downtown Lancaster to “Building Character” on a Saturday Afternoon.
Its of many stores in the area that either have an arts and crafts, fashion or bohemian theme on Queen st., Lancaster. ~ The day I was there the folks who run the shop had a free tutorial: making homemade wrapping paper. The creative wrapping paper above is not my work. It was cleverly made with inks, tongue and grove boards salvaged from chairs, keys, buttons and an assortment of inks and paints. My wrapping paper is the First picture with the smiley face. Mt teachers and fellow pupils kindly did not mock my lack of artistic ability. it was alot of fun, the free pizza was cool, and I got ink all over my hands. Building Character has hosted many free events and even concerts.

First Fridays, Art and BluesPosted by: Chris dlgr in Almanac, Lancaster, Pictures, celebrations, city, lifeArt has had a influence on my hometown of Lancaster, Pa for a long time. One can see it the affect of the “artist” in the cities Architecture and downtown bohemian shops. Today Lancaster is home to the Pennsylvania School of Art. down town Lancaster is dotted with small galleries.
~ A “first Friday” Art event is held in many cities today, however here in Lancaster its become a huge community outing. It draws thousands of people Downtown once a month. This First Friday I chose to spend most of my time at the A Blues trio dubbed “the Willie Marble Experience” was Rocking the small Art gallery. I can say its the first time I enjoying Watercolor painting, post modernist Sculpture and A raunchy delta Blues cover of “Mustang Sally” all at the same time. .The Willie Marble Xperience is touring to raise grant money for “Music for Everyone“ They are definitely worth checking out for Blues Fan in Central Pennsylvania. No admission was asked for my Blues and Art hang out, However I did by a couple CDs…. So i also did some Xmas Shopping as well on Friday nite…of course there was plenty of art to by. It seems the arts will continue to have along history with the Community of Lancaster. The art pictured in this post is available for purchase at the Red Raven Art Company:

Beginning the season of lights at Penn SquarePosted by: Chris dlgr in Almanac, Lancaster, Pictures, celebrations, city, lifeThis Weekend saw the The tree lighting ceremony in Downtown Lancaster… (unfortunately I still have difficulty with night photos… The Christmas tree at Penn Square looks alot nicer than my photo to the Left) Playing Christmas Carols. I love the crowds and the Buzz during this time of year, everyone seems so Lively. I don’t like to post photographs of people on this site without permission, However several thousand people of all types were scattered downtown.. you’ll just have to take my word on it. ‘
Perhaps all the lights are as much to escape the darkness the North Easts Winter…. Lancaster County is predominately Protestant Christian with many denomination close to one and other. This is an important religious holiday for many. Although I do not follow organized religion, I’ve never felt excluded here. Its a great time to get lost in the lights, crowd and seasonal atmosphere… |
