Only in Bucks County: Summer Flowers and Front Porches

Here are ten things that I love:

1. The American flag
2. Container gardens
3. Walking and exploring
4. Family friendly towns
5. Historic details
6. Late summer flowers
7. July and August nights
8. The hour or two before the sun sets
9. Wrought Iron
10. Front Porches

I feel so fortunate that Bristol Borough has them all!

Here are some photos I've taken just walking around as the light begins to fade each day.
I think some of these shots are absolutely gorgeous and they remind me of my travels to other American towns like Newport Rhode Island, Savannah Georgia and Spring Lake, New Jersey.

SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!

Only in Bucks County: Fading Light in Newtown and Yardley

Did I mention that I hate this heat?

I wrote a post about that this time last year, and... NOTHING'S CHANGED.

The only time I enjoy being outside has been in the early evening and at night.

Back in my Wedding photographer/Bar Mitzvah photographer days, I preferred taking portraits of people around 7:30-8:00 pm because of the lighting. No one looks bad in 8:00 pm summer light!

I'd never considered landscape photography as the day light fades, but I've been outside taking photos at twilight all summer and I'm so pleased with the way they look!

They capture the feeling of the end of a long summer day.

Low light can be challenging, especially without a tripod, but I am enjoying the challenge.

The photos below are completely unedited, and I think I've done a great job capturing the remaining light.
