    The 2nd Annual Fire & Wine Festival at Black Walnut Winery in Sadsburyville, Chester County, PA!

    The following images are for the wonderful fire masters of the evening!

    Many, many thanks to the gentlemen of the Sadsburyville Fire Company (Company 31),  who threw wood pallet after pallet into the sometimes gigantic bonfire!

  • Friday Foliage

    I was out walking around Founder’s Way point in Marsh Creek State Park yesterday, and I could see that we are still in the fairly green foliage state right now, with some of the tips turning.

    During a walk  around Founder’s Way Point in Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, PA, I took these images.

    As you can see, this is a great area to both hike/walk or mountain bike!

  • Large Tree Mushroom

    Large Tree Mushroom

    A couple of days ago, I was walking through this area of Struble trail, and saw this series of large orange tree mushrooms.  Unfortunately, I did not have my tripod for the required shot that I had in my head.

    Fast forward today…

    Large Tree Mushroom

    This is a series of (3) exposures for the HDR work, but shot at F22 with my Canon EF 28-135 IS USM lens.

    These specimens range in size. The one on the left, mid frame, is easily 12 inches long!

    I’m also still trying to identify this species of tree mushroom, so if you know, please contact me!

    2014-Nov-26 16:48 – Having now skimmed through several of the References listed, I think this is either an “Artist’s Conk, Artist’s Bracket, Flacher Lackporling” Ganoderma applanatum (Fomes applanatus) or a “Sulfur Shelf, Crab of the Woods, Chicken of the Woods, sulphur polypore”, Laetiporus sulphureus (Polyporus sulphureus).

    2014-Nov-28 17:03 – By request, I have added another images of these specimens .

    Politicians are the only “professionals” where the Employer (We the People) pay/donate to the Employee to get a Job… and in many cases, once elected, the Employee (Politician) then makes MORE than the Employer in terms of salary, benefits and vacation…
