This Photo above and below was taken while trespassing on the Boy Scout Camp near the Lebanon / Lancaster County Border.

Amateur Photography is such dangerous work you know ;)

I 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.

man-in-city-park-wildernessI decided to  stop in at Long’s Park, this frozen Saturday. Longs park is not really suited for hiking,  and it was Freezing anyway, So I just snapped a few pictures.
( Above) is the Frozen reservoir at Longs Park.

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.
They often very tame around people, putting on dances to try to win food from us.

They can also be very nasty, I have seen them  chase away alley cats . I have even seen one fight off the attack of a red Tail hawk.

The great thing about amateur  photography is that it is a relatively cheap hobby. So are outdoor hobbies such as walking in the park.
We may need to enjoy are cheap hobbies to escape the present economy. AS for me, well I spent an hour or two with the squirrels in the park!

I opened up an account recently with a popular social network. I was pleasantly surprised to see some old faces, I haven’t seen in a decade or more. Unfortunately, Do to health problems and the normal life responsibilities I fell out of contact with people. I was “Harassed” into producing photos of me.

I used to fancy myself a wanna be impressionest Artist. Thanks to digital photography today, I can be…
with spilling paint all over myself…

I was taking a couple pictures today near Washing Boro, With the Susquahanna River behind me.
When I looked, man they were boring. So I spruced them up with some manipulations, I normally only crop picuters on this site.

Feeling the Energy of the power lines near by… These are over Railrioad tracks…

These tree leaves were still green before I took a picture of them. Its Autumn any way.
We’ll just call these pictures “artistic license” with my computer  :-D
