Valley Forge, PA

What a difference a day can make! I was recently in King of Prussia, PA on a buying trip. Everytime I go to King of Prussia I always make time to go to Valley Forge National Park to share sunrise with the deer. This past trip I went Thursday morning. Friday there were blizzard warnings for Saturday. These warnings were not exaggerated we woke Sat. morning to over 24" of snow. That meant a trip Sunday morning back to the park to trapse thru the snow. I have to say I did spend hours there and took 178 picutres of deer.

Winter Trees

I have always been fascinated by winter trees. There is something so serene about watching them sleep..waiting for spring. I often wonder what surprises they might hold behind them....

Snow Day

I Love snow days. As a child I was out the door building snowmen, forts

and snow angels.

Now it's a chance to take snow pictures. I trudge thru the snow

looking for birds day dreaming of the spring flowers to come, trees

covered with snow and ice and other wildlife. There will be trees in

another blog post. Later this month I will be going to my favorite place

for wild deer pictures.

Here is my Festival of the Trees display. I could have never done it without the
help of my friend Karen. Karen is the Queen of Lights and in all the years we

have been doing a display for Festival this is the first year Karen has not sent me out

to buy more lights!I would like to thank Rye Mantel Company for the amazing mantel.

Also all the artists who made special pieces for the display.

Shari Lutz for the greatest life size Santa.Heidi Steiner for the large center seam bear and the smaller bear in Santa's pack.Cathy Pendleton for the snowman in the shoe, the bird cage angel and the 3 kitten's in the basket. Vergie Lightfoot for those wonderful realistic cats and mouse.
