Photograph info: This photograph was taken Wednesday morning as the fog lifted at Lodi Lock, a part of the Delaware Canal State Park in Tinicum Township, Bucks County, about 6 miles south of Durham Township.
The leaves are gorgeous this year!

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

p.s. Filmmaker Ajit Anthony Prem made a short documentary film here in Durham a couple of years ago - he finally finished it up and posted it here on Vimeo the other day - check it out! Great job, Ajit!
I loved the film. I have frequented your site often over several years and your work inspires me. I was driving home from work to my house here in Durham township overlooking (I believe) the feilds were this film was set. On my way home from work was an image that made me think of you. I had no camera in hand, but the sky was dark with a storm brewing and I looked up as there was a stark contrast of a white fluffy cloud in the horizon, next the wind kicked up and the image was filled with golden leaves, as I was enjoying this sight, an Adult Bald EAGLE entered into the picture and just soared and circled to my non-beleiving eyes. I thought, now Kathleen would have captured this image if she was in the car to see it. Keep up your enjoyable work. THANK YOU.
P.S. at 7:00AM the next morning my phone rings and it was my husband calling to say that he was seeing his first Bald Eagle in the wild on high tension power lines in Montgomeryville.
The beauty of the fall season is highlighted today
And yellow is the color featured in the display.
The sun playing games with the leaves of the trees.
Makes for an autumn picture that surely will please.
All to soon this forests colorful beauty will fail
For winters gray and white coat is next to prevail.
I thought the trees in our cul-de-sac were pretty but this photo is gorgeous.
Posted by Technobabe on October 26, 2009 12:03 AMVery nicely composed photo.
Posted by Tero on October 26, 2009 5:03 AMI love how the light gently dances on the golden leaves. This is a magical time of year that is far too short.
Posted by Laurie on October 26, 2009 7:07 AMWhat a beautiful shot of fall foliage. The film is wonderful and you are right, it is a magnificient area to live in and hopefully will be for some time to come. Your little guy is a lucky fellow.
Posted by Noreen on October 26, 2009 8:55 AMThat's a beautiful little film, and your message is very much appreciated. I think whether the pristine areas can be preserved comes down to basic economic issues. There are similar events occurring where I live, although because you're located so much closer to New York City your farmers can get more money if they sell their land, so more of an incentive to take the money rather than stay and struggle to survive. In any event, it's a lovely photo and, yes, this fall the colors have been magnificent!
Posted by Judith Polakoff on October 26, 2009 10:19 AMI almost feel the sunshine on my skin. :)
Posted by Becky on October 26, 2009 12:36 PMKathleen,
The fall colors are quite nice around here and your photo is a testament to that.
I really liked the movie - traipsing about the countryside with the gear looking for 'the shot'. Your message is heartfelt and spot on.
I'd love to know where Dee spotted a Bald Eagle; M'ville is near me and I'd love to get some photos.

The itunes is blastin' the Beach Boy's "I Can Hear Music" and now I can see music. A tune by Asher Durand or Fredric Church?.......nah it's Kathleen orchestrating services in her cathedral of choice.
The Beach boys and The Beeches, wow.

Posted by faisal on October 31, 2009 9:04 AMLove the golden leaves this time of year. Nature's solace for taking summer away from us. Nice catch.
Posted by Evelyn on November 2, 2009 12:54 AMThe beauty of Autumn, minutes before the Winter steps in :)
Splendid light - Watching these golden leaves almost makes you hear the wind/breeze.
Beautiful work, glad to meet you on Twitter :)
