Fall colors along the Tulpehocken Creek and trail, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Part 3
What we saw and heard today in DC was ruthless, selfish and brains lacking critical thinking.
I tried not to make political comments on social media in the past, but now…. today the world has made a paradigm shift.
Remember the Last Day of February 2025.

Part 2
What happened in Washington DC today. I read and listened, my heart is sad and I grieve.
Studying and reading history taught me much about leaders in the world and human behavior. One of my persons of interest to study is Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Part 1
The trail along the Tulpehocken Creek was a perfect place to find some solitude today. I was looking for some old ruins from a historical foundation. I saw a shade of yellow over by the creek, taking a closer look I discovered the first blooms of the winter aconite flowers. Ahhh springtime.

This fall at the Berks History Center featured an exhibit of 180+ plein air paintings showcasing a collection of talented painters. The Nicholas Stoltzfus Homestead was featured by two local Berks painters, Frances Parzanese and Russel Slocum. It was an honor to meet these artists.
