Pennsylvania’s French Creek State Park provides the setting for this restful scene. Envision yourself on a beautiful spring day, standing by a trout stream, looking back at the farm on the hill.

The beauty of spring has come to Pennsylvania’s French Creek State Park. The trees have leafed out, and flowers are in bloom. In the pasture beyond the barn, horses will come to graze, and bask in the mid-day sun.

The milk house, located by the meandering creek, kept milk, butter and eggs fresh for the farm family.

A solitary pair of railroad tracks raises questions in our mind” Where are we going? Or coming from? What lies ahead?

This Pennsylvania cornfield typifies a scene found in many places. An early snowfall has set the stage for the oncoming season, although shades of the fading autumn season is still in sight.

This stately manor house, nestled in the trees, greets springtime with grace and dignity. It speaks of country charm, with a sweeping lawn, lovely flowers, and a charming gazebo.

This country lane gives a warm welcome to those arriving at this lovely farm. The split-rail fence marks the entrance, the overhanging trees offer shade, and the evening sunset offers peace and tranquility at days end.

The farmhouse sits on the hill, overlooking a beautiful stone barn with an arch to span the meandering country creek. One can imagine fresh milk and freshly churned butter cooling in the milk-house.

At sunset, this old farmhouse beckons us to come in from the snowy landscape. Purples, violets and oranges all help to make this a very colorful painting.

A contrast of wall surfaces embraces two windows, each bedecked with flowers. The leaves of an over-hanging tree provide an umbrella of shade to the delicate flowers in the garden beds.
