Day 336 - House on Summit Lawn

Yesterday my daughter told me about a house on Summit Lawn.  She said that this house is extensively decorated and they continue to add to it every year.  So on my way home from work I thought I would stop by and take a few photos of this house.  My photos really don't show how magnificently this house is decorated.

All images are taken with the EOS-M w/EF-M 22mm  @ Aperture Priority set to f/3.5

If you are in the area, you need to stop by and look at this home.

Day 324 - Old Water Tower

After arriving at the testing center @ 09:00, I entered into the center @ 09:30 to begin a 4 hour grueling test.  At 13:15 I finally answered my last question, took the survey and left the facility.  I sat in my car and just vegetated as I downed a whole bottle of water.  Note, there was no food, water, or bath room breaks during the 4 hours, nor were you allowed to bring in food or water.  The only thing they allowed inside the testing area was the key to your locker and your ID card.

So after starting the car and leaving the center I noticed this old looking water tower:

Day 151 - Wild Mouse Coaster

After we got the grandchildren, we headed over to Dorney Park.  Today turned out to be a special day for my grandson, for last year, he was 1/2" to short to ride the Wild Mouse Coaster.  What a disappointed little boy he was.  However, this year he just hit the 48" limit.  Thanks to Mom & Dad for his new tennis shoes, as they helped it meeting the minimum hight.

All images are taken with the EOS-M w/ EF-M 22mm f/2 STM @ f/3.5

An Afternoon at Dorney

Our 1st stop was the Merry-go-round

But this year they were not allowed to ride the horses as they

changed the height limit

So we headed of to other rides

 Even Nana rode some rides this year.

Then after Dorney we headed over to the school fair where

our middle grandchild got her face painted.

 Love her eyes on this as she was trying to see the painting

 The Finished Product 

These last 3 images are from this morning where I was using the EOS-M with 

a 70-300mm lens w/1.4X Tele-extender

Building a home in the bird house the grandchildren painted.

 What are you pointing at me?

Thanks for looking

See you all tomorrow.
