On another summer day

On yet another glorious summer day (this has been the most beautiful summer I remember here!), my husband and I jumped on the motorcycle and went off adventuring toward a nearby state park. The road rose to meet us as we sped though fields and hills and passed farm after farm after farm into the forested world that awaited us.

Our first stop was a ancient gorge with an overlook that feasts the eyes with acre after acre of trees.


After the gorge, we visited an old covered bridge, one of the many found in this state. The afternoon sun shimmered in the clear water like a jewel.


On the way back, we stopped to capture the image of a picture-perfect Amish farm, complete with a flawless red barn. Nearby stood a simple but also perfect Amish school with blue curtains covering the windows.


Once we were back in our own haunts, we stopped at an ancient church that still stands to commemorate the founding of my small college on the hill.


Our next photographic safari will be dedicated to the wonderful horses, including miniature ponies, you can see around here.

Robert, Thank you! I loved that barn, too. Everything about that Amish farm was picture perfect.
