Blessed with good weather…

I don’t want to jinx us, but our February weather has been great! No snow. No snow! And, often above average temps.  I’ll take it.  So, I’ve been out walking a lot and it does help a person’s mood.


Here are more Bradly Palmer photos.  I finally got a better picture of the stone building. Now, mind you, I’m taking these photos with my iphone g3 camera.  Nothing fancy at all. I’ve been fascinated with this form of photography and experimenting away.  I love that I have a camera on me at all times.  Of course, it could use a flash and a zoom, but I’m hoping for such improvements in the future.  Meanwhile, it’s just fun to see what I can get with my phone and the few new apps I’ve uploaded.  I was amazed at all the dead wood and fallen trees in this area.

I’d love to hear from you if you are having fun with your iphone camera, too.

Bradley Palmer Park

I guess I’m in love with this place.  It’s where Kevin and I go walking often. It’s a state Park, and there is a paved road through the park.

There are numerous other trails off into the woods.  We take those trails sometimes, but it’s just so easy to walk the paved road, and go home.  We don’t have to worry so much about deer ticks this way.

But, before we turn around and head back we stop at the stone house.  It fascinates me, and I love to photograph it. I only had my iphone with me the other day, but I’m sharing some of the pictures.

I’m hoping the state doesn’t let this beautiful stone structure go to ruin.  It looks like that may be happining.  I’d love to see the inside, too.  Well, I would have loved to have visited the inside before it sat for so many years.  I’m sure the inside is damp, and full of spider webs and nests. This will be an interesting subject to paint...
