Turkeys in the snow
It has been a brutal winter here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Frigid temperatures, a deep snow cover and today an ice storm. It looks like I am not the only one having a hard time walking in these conditions. The gobblers who have been in my back yard since the Summer showed up a few days…
It’s the End of the Humboldt Reservoir as We knew it.
Was hoping to take a relaxing hike to a favorite spot of mine, the Humboldt Reservoir. Hiked out here many times as kids. It was always a secluded, and beautiful place, to enjoy the beauty of nature. It is located on lands of our local water authority. many folks would camp, party and…
More ice and snow along the Lehigh River
We got some moderation in the temperature today, a balmy 22 degrees this morning, but there is still a deep snow cover out there. Decided to take advantage of the paths left by snowmobilers and hike in the Lehigh Gorge. Wasn’t bad walking and ran into a few cross country skiers and snowmobilers. Not much…
Birds in the backyard

Wasn’t easy walking in the woods in the ice crusted deep snow but the sunset made it worthwhile. Here…
A cold February moon
Left the comfort of my warm house hoping to take some photos of the almost full Snow Moon. Was watching the radar and thought the clouds would break. Unfortunately they didn’t and only got to take some photos in the few breaks that did appear in the clouds. It was windy and 9 degrees so…
