Paxton Hill Farm
Uploaded: September 03, 2011 09:31:40
-----
I shot this while stopped on the near-deserted rural road in central Bucks County, Pennsylvania at the end of July. Lost (even with GPS)after encountering an unexpected detour because of a washed-out bridge, I had been trying to get to the nearby Cuttalossa Farm. But Paxton Hill Farm, from many angles and roads, provided some wonderful photo opportunities. I had not heard of this place before.
-----
Today, Paxton Hill features its annual "Art in the Garden" event. I'm tagging along with my neighbors, so I won't be driving. Whew! Since I am "directionally challenged" I'm happy that I can just sit back and let someone else negotiate the MANY detours we are likely to encounter following Hurricane Irene.

LOVELY BIG PICTURE CAPTURE Comp is A#1Getting A BIT OFF COURSE is often a FUN FILLED EXPERIENCE. HOWEVER. NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO DO IN CENTRAL WYOMING AT NIGHT.
Never realized there was a place in the Lower 48 you could drive for 2 hours w/o seeing a single light from a building. An EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE.
Happy Holiday

Beautiful composition Michelle, I especially like the old wagon in the foreground along with the splash of red flowers to offset the red barn. #9654336Jorgen Jensen September 05, 2011 0
Very idyllic image Michelle. I love the colors and the composition. #9654380Patricia White September 06, 2011 0
GPS can be very challenging. I always print a route just in case but if you have a detour to go around I guess I would just stop as you and take in the scenery. Love the wagon. #9654948

I can't believe I missed this completely, Michelle! First time and when going thru the Finalists - so glad I caught up with it now. Charming farm landscape - love the framing, the comp, and the colors. I too, am directionally challenged and am a right/left person. Thank heavens I now have a navigation system - I really rely on "my lady of the car" and don't even mind it when she says "make a U-turn, if possible"! Huge Congrats on the Finalist - you really cleaned up this month!!! WTG! #9749409
