The good ol' days

The Wissahickon Creek, back in early spring, on a day in which the mercury wasn't expected to reach 99.

Gimme Swelter

There's Alex, son of my girlfriend, earring buddy (despite the disapproval of his mother) , guitar hero, tuning his ax before the show at the School of Rock best in show concert out in the middle of nowhere on a hot hot afternoon in the middle of New Jersey.
"War, Children, it's just a shout away... "
How Rock and Roll can it be if your mother is there to give you thumbs up, but Alex pulled it off. As did all the other kids that day. A great show!

Later that evening...

Walnut Lane Bridge, late April.

Have a great weekend!

Evening ride

Forbidden Drive, late April.

Forgotten beauty

The ruins of this fountain, which must have been beautiful when it was whole, emerge every winter when the undergrowth recedes. You will find it along Forbidden Drive near Lincoln Drive. By mid spring is has disappeared again.

Borough's burros

Burros, Roxborough, Saul High School, Sunday afternoon.
Jenny is nice but Jack is an ass.

Horse play

Walter B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences, which borders on the western side of the Wissahickon gorge, Sunday afternoon.

It is the job of these animals to stand along Ridge Avenue and cause motorists, especially if they have children or photo blogs, to pull over and take pictures.

As you can see, they are out standing in their field.
