    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!
