Spring arrives at 7:44am Friday. Hooray! The birds are singing, the temperature is rising (slowly maybe), the sun is shining (or at least trying to come out). The time for outside activities is upon us.
Just yesterday, on my way home from work I noticed purple wild flowers along President Ave in Lancaster, PA. I was actually surprised to see flowers already.
So now that Spring is in the air, what is there to do? Another place to visit and photograph are mud sales. Every Spring, various areas of Lancaster County hold mud sales. These sales are normally sponsored by local fire companies. The locals, including the Amish, come to these mud sales mainly to purchase things like tools, machinery, arts and crafts, Amish buggies, and an assortment of food. Some of us go to the mud sales to hunt for photo opportunities. Last year, my friend Pat and I attended the mud sale in Gap, PA. This was my first time going to a mud sale and it was quite the experience.
Both of us came back home with several photo memories that day. (We even photographed the Amish, although discreetly since the Amish believe that it's a sin of vanity to have their photo taken.)
