Discovering John Roebling's Bridge

Apparently it is a big deal to be a Roebling Bridge.  

I had never heard of John A. Roebling until a recent 

stop to take some pictures. 

A woman who lived nearby pointed out 

that the bridge I was photographing was a "Roebling Bridge." 

And sure enough, that's what the plaque says. 

John Roebling immigrated from Prussia to where he settled in Western Pennsylvania. 

He designed and built wire rope suspension bridges. 

His most notable achievement is the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. 

 

Ya never know what you'll learn from taking pictures. 

I'll have to do it more often. 

More pictures of the bridge and surrounding area are here. 

At Home in Milford

On a recent scouting mission for my camera club, 

my eye was really just attracted to this bridge.



A bridge over the Delaware River
connecting Pennsylvania with New Jersey.
And I love bridges with pedestrian paths.



But the true treasure
is what I found on the other side of the bridge.



Milford,
a little town that history forgot.



Just park a few vintage 50s cars along the street
and you'd swear you were hearing
Elvis crooning from a window nearby.



I am not sure how this sweet little town
has avoided the CVS, McDs, and Target wrecking balls.
But I sure hope they continue to do so.



I did not see one chain store on main street...
hallelujah!




And seriously,
how can you not LOVE a place with
a Honeysuckle Lane?





I am thinking this would make a great side trip for
my camera club.
I'm just not sure what Milford residents
will think being invaded by people with cameras.

Lower Creek Road, Hunterton County, NJ

I fell in love...

I was enjoying a ride in my car on a beautiful fall day and I truly fell in love.

A little blurry cause I took the above photo through the sun roof. :)

I am in love with Lower Creek Road in Hunterton County, New Jersey.

I was so in love stopped at every little area I could find to park
and enjoy the views.

And there is preserve land with trails all along the creek.  How awesome!

And there was NO ONE around... 

...I didn't even see a Copperhead!

Not that I hung around to look for one.

A beautiful day, beautiful scenery and beautiful fall colors!

I didn't want to leave!
I would live there in a heart beat!
