BABI YHR

  For the past few months, I have been reading the book “Holocaust” written by Martin Gilbert.  It’s quite a thick book to read.  Just about 1000 pages long and very well written about the Jewish people and how horrible they were treated during the Second World War.  The book goes into graphic detail just

OLD LOCK REVISITED

  Yesterday was such a beautiful day that I decided to take my camera and re-visit the old Schyukill Canal Lock that is just but a  10 min. drive from my home.  I’ve been here a number of times in the past, but always seem to want to return on occasion to see if anything

BETHENY BEACH, DELAWARE

  Here I shot a Image of the beach at Bethany.  This was taken on the morning of the 4th of July to show just how crowded it get’s on a Holiday.  It was just plain nut’s!  Beach goers are crowding almost every space they can find.  On a beautiful warm sunny day everyone wants

AHEAD FLANK SPEED. STEADY AS SHE GOES!

  While standing alongside the Inlet watching the boats come in and out, I noticed that most all the boats power up to enter.  This is because the out-going tide is quite strong, thus making the pleasure craft throttle up to keep from being swept back out to sea. Thanks for stopping by. Les

COLOR FOR ME!

  Another one of the things in Life that I love, is Color.  I never really enjoyed anything that is a drab and not colorful. Well, while down in the State of Delaware over the 4th of July week-end I decided to go snoop around in some of the many, many stores that have sneakers
