Staten Island Ferry

On my first trip to Staten Island, NY,

I asked the residents 

what I should be sure to do before leaving.

The unanimous answer 

was to ride the Staten Island Ferry.

Here is the view of NYC from Staten Island.

These are my two daughters.

If you look carefully you can see

The Statue of Liberty

in the background.

A view from the ferry of NYC.

 

Since I boarded the ferry just before sunset, 

 the skies were in state of constant color change.

And of course I could not leave you without seeing Lady Liberty!

More photos from this set can be found here.

But more importantly,

you can taste the love.

They were dressed in BLUE!

Lavender's Blue

Near the Peace Valley Park 

in Bucks County, PA 

sits a peaceful, family owned lavender farm.

The owners are very friendly,

and even welcomed me to take photos.

Here is the drying room.

The flowers just hange to dry

the old fashioned way.

Don't you just love that?

They do all the work on the premises. 

And they sell all variety of lavender products 

in their quaint gift shop.

To peek inside the gift shop,

WW II Reading Air Show

The World War II Air Show in Reading, PA 

is a very popular spot with history buffs. 

Previously I posted on the flame throwers, 

but today we'll see the vintage airplanes.

On the ground... 

This planes wings fold up.

In the air..

Check out all the airshow photos here.

World War 2 Re enactment

The Mid Atlantic Air Museum

in Reading, PA

hosts a World War 2 Re enactment Weekend each year.

It is a large event

with re enactors from all

countries involved in the war.

In the afternoon

there is an airshow with

planes from the era as well.

The flame throwers

were part of the ground show

of the air show.

We could feel the heat from where we were sitting!

Pretty cool, huh?

I'll be posting more photos from the event this week,

but if you can't wait the event photo gallery is here.

(Although I will be uploading more that also.)
