Down on the farm

 

Good morning everyone, I hope that you all had a great weekend.  It turned out to be a really nice weekend weather wise around southwestern PA for us and we were able to spend time with friends and family and enjoy the beautiful fall scene, which is the subject of the post today.

On Saturday morning my wife and I headed to Bedner’s Farm in McDonald, PA, just about a half hour from our house.  Nestled way back in the woods, we spent the day going on a hay ride, picking out pumpkins, buying some local food from the farmer’s market, eating kettle corn and just enjoying the beautiful day.  I thought that I would share some of the shots today.  Some are HDR, but most are single exposure images taken with my 50mm.
