GRIST MILLS

“Out There” again, cruising the back country roads with my camera looking for Historic buildings that are all over my area, I came across the old Dreibelbis Grist Mill that was built in 1854.  This Mill once supplied Corn Meal & Flour to the area’s near-by.  It stayed in operation until 1984 until it got

HIGH WATER

After a heavy rain the River over at Grings Mill is a bit on the high side.  Water was moving fast & brown in color.  Normally the water here is lower & slower moving.

COAL CHUTE

Yesterday, I took my Wife up to her old home in Minersville, PA to meet with some of her long time girl friends that she has known since High School.  They were going to have some lunch together at the old Washington House.  So, after I dropped her off, I had a few hours to

NEW MOWER!

Well, I finally went and did it!  After months of snooping around at different types of riding lawn mowers, I decided on this Troy Blit 30 in. mower.  The one that I bought looks just like the one pictured above. All of my Life, I have been mowing grass, with a push mower or walk

NEW LENS!

Ah, yes.  Here is something else that I had to purchase a week ago. This is my new Tamron Lens for my Pentax K10d.  Now, I did have and still do have, a Tamron 28-80mm AF f/2,8 Lens that I have had for a long time.  It was one of my “go to” Lens because

MY FAVORITE PLACE

This is the “favorite place” that I like to go most all the time.  At any time of the year, Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, it always has something to photograph.  Here I’m standing on the cement bridge that cross’s over the River.  Old Grings Mill is one the left. You never know what’s around

A MORNING WALK

Later in the morning, I went to my favorite place for some photo’s.  The Union Canal Towpath is to the left of the Image.  The problem here was I was “bit up” by misquotes!  The air was filled with the smell of perfume from the Lady walkers that went by me.  Their perfume predominated the

HOLDING POND

While down at the Union Canal Tunnel Park, I came across this Holding Pond that was once used to hold Canal Barges until it was their turn to go into the Lock that is on the other end of this Image.  As you can see, I could go no further.  It say’s “Keep Out.”
