The (Not so) Rural Pennsylvanian

  • Columbia County Beyond the Covered Bridges

    Although Columbia County likes to tout their 23 covered bridges, it has much to offer the visitor.

     

    The countryside near the Creasyville covered bridge. Note the pumpkins on the hillside.

     

    Merry October. Christmas trees “on the hoof.”

     

    This clever sculpture immediately caught my eye.

     

    Cattle grazing near my family’s farm.

     

    The side entrance to my grandparent’s old farmhouse. This is door people used most often.

     

    The graveyard down the road from the house my grandparents built after they sold the farm. It’s small patch surrounded by fields. No church in sight. My brother, cousin and I used to walk up here often as kids.

     

  • Farms of West Vincent Township

    Here are some shots from my trip around West Vincent Township in northern Chester County.

    This season’s hay has been baled.

    Peaceful scene of cattle on a hillside by a farm pond.

    I loved the slope in this shot.

  • Cattle Herd and Adorable Calf

    I came across this adorable calf with the rest of the herd in West Pikeland Township, Chester County.

    With mom.

    Meet some of the rest of the herd.

  • Calves, calves everywhere …

    On a trip to Locust Lake State Park this spring, I cam a across a farm with quite a few new additons to their cattle herd. Here are a few shots plus a bonus pic.

    A frisky calf.

    Bonus nuthatch nest from a tree in my campsite at Locust Lake.
