The (Not so) Rural Pennsylvanian

  • Annual Poconos Weekend

    Every year a good friend rents a house at Lake Naomi and a few of us girls go up for a weekend. Here are a some shots from the most recent trip.

    Bradys Lake in State Game Lands 127 in Monroe County is a hidden gem – a publicly accessible lake among sea of private development.

    Like most of Pennsylvania’s lake, Bradys Lake is formed by a dam.

    On to Lake Naomi, a very pretty private lake community in Pocono Pines.

  • Ski Areas in Summer

    Pennsylvania has many great ski areas for winter time fun. Here are a couple in the off season.

    Roundtop Mountain Resort in York County has water attractions, zip lines, and paintball in the warmer months. It is also close to Gifford Pinchot State Park.

    Big Boulder in Carbon County has its own beautiful lake and is near the Lake Harmony resort communities and many other Poconos attractions.

     

  • Octoraro Lake Area, Lancaster and Chester County

    I went to Octoraro Lake in southern Lancaster and Chester Counties hoping to find some elusive bird species, but came back with these photos instead.

    There was an interesting view of this silo from the lake.

    One of the area’s many picture perfect farms.

    Tobacco field, Lancaster County. Not many Pennsylvanians are aware that we grow tobacco here in the state.

    I just thought this was a really nice looking barn. I loved the natural wood board look.

    Free kittens. I nearly stopped …

  • A Little Family Time

    Here is a cool panorama shot taken by my brother of the pond on my aunt’s farm property near Millville, PA (Columbia County).
