Butler-Freeport Rails to Trails,Freeport, PA

 

This image was taken in2007, and I thought it might be time to break out a couple winter pictures. The snow is just around the corner, and it comes with mixed feelings for me. I like to walk and take pictures in the snow and cold weather, but will miss the warm nights of summer. The seasons are a wonderful thing, they keep us wishing for the the next one to roll around. In PA there is beauty in each season, the balmy summer , the colorful fall, the amazing green of spring, and the bitter cold and stark winter that makes us love a warm fire and a cup of hot chocolate(or coffee in my case). So no matter what the season, get out there, enjoy nature, and take a few pictures.

Little Buffalo Creek, Freeport Pa.

This is a spot where  Little Buffalo Creek runs into Buffalo Creek north of Freeport. In the winter, with snow, this can be a very pretty spot.  This image was made by stitching 5 shots in Photoshop CS5. I wanted the image to have the feel of a painting and played around with several filters in in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. I have to admit, I have always  envied people who can paint, it is a great skill.  Having tried to paint, I guess I will settle for Photography, for my creative outlet.
