Day 181 - New Hope & Ivyland Railroad

Today after church we headed down to New Hope to ride in the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad.  When we left the house it was just starting to cloud up, but we put the top down on the car and headed south.  After about 45 minutes into the trip it started to rain and it rained from 12:30 till 15:30 as we were heading back home.  But even with the rain it was a a nice and relaxing ride on the train.

Day 175 - Flowers

Today was a busted day.  All my morning clients cancelled because of their involvement with VBS.  Not a bad reason to cancel, but it does tend to put a dent in one's income.  Oh Well.  So I just did the laundry, made some lunch and finished up the pictures that I took yesterday for our afternoon cruise and posted them on Facebook.

So for today's images, my wife has a plant that a friend of her's gave to her on Memorial Weekend.  The plant is now in full bloom.  Now don't ask me what kind of plant it is cause I have no idea.

Now I also have this 5 image multi filter from Cokin

that I placed on the front of the lens to create these from 

1 flower

Then for lunch their was some leftover Som Tum - ส้มตำ

With leftover Thai curried barbecue chicken  in a wrap.

Day 173 - The Schlicher's Covered Bridge (1882)

The Schlicher's covered bridge is the newest covered bridge in the Lehigh Valley and the last covered bridge that crosses over the Jordan Creek.  There are 5 other covered bridges that I have already included in this project that also cross the Jordan Creek.  This bridge is now closed to traffic as it was damaged during Hurricane Sandy as she crossed over Eastern Pa.

The images I took while standing in the middle of Jordan Creek.  The Infrared images I used the Cokin Type A Filter Kit w/Hood & a 22mm Black sock.
