Updated Website Look

It has been about two years, since I last updated the look of my website, and with the release of WordPress, they finally offered a template that caught my eye.

Yesterday, after doing a lot of reading, and backing up files, I upgraded my website to version 3.8.

I am happy to report that I did not have any issues with the upgrade, and now I’m just fine-tuning sections with some of the new features that are now offered!

So please take a look around, and if you see anything “odd”, or have any comments, please let me know!

I had a great walk along the Penndel Trail, which is on the Western side of the White Clay Creek (East Branch).

Hope you enjoy!

A Fall walk in the Peacedale Preserve

Some images taken during a late Fall walk in the Natural Lands Trust’s Peacedale Preserve in Chester County, PA.

There was a weather front moving through while I was there, which allowed for some very interesting cloud and lighting conditions, and several times, I was able to see some Crepuscular rays.

At one point during my walk, I encountered a real old-timer.

In the middle of the Preserve, there is a huge beech tree, at is 3-4 feet in diameter, and easily several hundreds of years old!

I don’t think I have ever seen a monster like this!

I was also extremely surprised with all the wooly bear caterpillar that I encountered. (Predicting Winter Weather: Woolly Bear Caterpillars)

During my walk, I had to avoid walking on over a dozen of these critters!
