House in Bellefonte

I was riding around Bellefonte for the purpose to find older houses with alot of detail. There are some pretty fasinating houses.

"The Queen" Bed & Breakfast

Here's another bed & breakfast in Bellefonte. I really like the details on this one. It looks like a princess should be in the tower, waiting. I've never seen inside but it would be nice to take a tour sometime. To learn more about what they call, "The Queen", go here: http://www.thequeenbnb.com/ Click on accommodations to see the rooms.

Reynolds Bed & Breakfast

On a corner in Bellefonte sits Reynolds Mansion Bed & Breakfast. It was built in 1885. If you want to see some of the rooms go here: http://www.findbnb.com/2208 and here: http://www.selectregistry.com/inns/qv/iid/306/inn/bedandbreakfast.aspx or for the history of this building, go here: http://www.reynoldsmansion.com/history.html

Duck taking a Shimmering Bath

Hope you don't mind one more duck photo, then onto something else tomorrow.

Duck Feet

A few of the ducks kept going under water, and I was able to capture this one.

Duck Wings

I took this duck photo at Talleyrand Park in Bellefonte.

See baby ducklings here: http://www.lv2scpbk.blogspot.com/

Leaf

I took this leaf at Talleyrand Park in Bellefonte. I liked the look of the leaf with the bench.

Prison Horses

Here's some horses that were grazing. The guards use these horses when they take the prisoners out into the field. I've seen them on them before while driving by.

The Prison

Here's a view of the Rockview prison. This prison is one that has executions. When there is one, you'll see a bunch of people standing outside the front with candles until the prisoner is pronounced dead. I don't think they carry out the death penalty very often. To see a front view of the prison and to learn more, go here: http://www.cor.state.pa.us/rockview/site/default.asp
Do you know the death penalty in your state? Well, to learn more about the facts in your own state (all are listed), go here: http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/UnitedStates.htm

Outside Details of the Church on Linn St.

Yesterday I posted a church on Linn St. in Bellefonte. Today is the details. On the side of this church is different stain glass windows and here are some of them. There are even more stained windows on this church that I didn't post here. When you really start to notice the details, it's absolutely beautiful. Hopefully, I can get the inside sometime.

Church on Linn St. in Bellefonte

Well after the celebration yesterday of my 100th post, I am back to work bringing more photos of Bellefonte. And, since my sisters horse needed some prayers, I found it appropriate to post this church.
This is the front view of this church. I think this is a pretty church with it's stain glass windows and red doors. There is alot of details in this church.
And, the side view.
I will post the details tomorrow.

My 100th Post!

I interupt my daily photo postings for this special bullitin. This is my 100th post!Serving up a very moist homemade chocolate cake, delicious chocolate chip cookies...


And, for those health buffs, apples with a side of carmel.

Can you believe it? It's my 100th post today! I thank all of you for stopping by.

P.S. While your here today, would you mind stopping by my personal site http://lv2scpbk.blogspot.com and adding a message to todays post. My sister needs some prayers, and my post explains why.

Children Playing at the Arts Fest

Here's some children playing at the Arts Festival. Just keeping theirselves busy. On the one photo the children are combing the hair of some guinea pigs.

Tomorrow will be my 100th post! Yeah! Please come back and take a look.

Tie Dying

Tie dying a T-Shirt at the Arts Fest. Do you remember these T-shirts? I think in fashion in the 60's.

Entertainment at the Arts Festival

Here is a group called the "Silver Spurs". They go different places to put on line dancing shows, and are very good at it. Ususally, it's mostly ladies who do this, but in the very middle there was one guy this time. There was other entertainment at the arts festival, but this is what was going on while I was there.

Peoples Choice Arts & Crafts Festival

I believe the People's Choice got started in Boalsburg (15 minutes from Bellefonte) because State College Arts Fest just got too expensive for the local people. I go to the State College Arts Fest maybe once every 3 or 4 years. The arts there is just out of my price range. This one is more affordable.

Colorful Mushrooms & A Grasshopper

A few interesting pieces of art at the People's Choice Arts & Crafts Festival in Boalsburg. I thought the mushrooms were adorable and the grasshopper (I think this is what it is) is made out of old tin from junk yard cars. If you'd like to check out a piece of art from my grandson go here: http://lv2scpbk.blogspot.com

Slides at Delgrosso's.

The water slides is at Delgrossos Amusement Park. You can see the top of the slide and the whole view. The water park is beside the parking lot across the road from the rides. There is a walking bridge that goes over the top of the road to go to the other side. Alot of people have family reunions and picnics here with their jobs. There is also a really nice mini-golf course and a go cart track where the water park is. I love to mini-golf, but haven't gotten to go any this year yet. This park is great for kids because they can get a bracelet and ride all day. It's really cheap. (Delgross's is about a 45 minute drive from Bellefonte).

Don't stick your head in a lions mouth.

This is my sister sticking her head in the mouth of a lion. We took the kids to Delgrosso's Amusement Park this past Saturday. The kids love this, sometimes it seems more than the rides. Delgrosso's is about a 45 minute drive from Bellefonte.

For Men Only

I noticed this car along side the road near Lemont. I didn't even know they had a hair salon for men only around here but apparentely they do.

Sunset Among the Trees

I took this photo in my backyard yesterday.

Construction in PA

This is the view around PA most of the time in the summer months. Construction everywhere. This happens to be the construction right now right past Benner Pike at the intersection at Lemont.

Starlite Drive-In Theater

The Starlite Theater is located on Benner Pike only about 10 minutes from Bellefonte. You can see the big screen in the background of the entrance. They were going to close it down but must have decided to keep it open awhile longer. I've gone several times to this one but not this year yet. Right now "Ratatouille" is playing and another movie which I forget. They used to have those big bulky speakers you put on the inside of your car window. Now, if you go, you tune your radio station in to whatever channel they tell you to hear the sound. I remember sometimes going with my kids and taking a lawn chair, blankets and a snack and we'd sit outside beside the car. Do you have memories of the drive-in theater? Do you have any in your town?

Statue at Catholic Church in Bellefonte

I was going to post a different photo today but thought since this is Sunday, this one seemed more appropriate. I love this statue that sits in front of the Catholic Church in Bellefonte.

Walking and Bike Path

This is the path you can walk or ride a bike at Slab Cabin Run. It runs along a creek and along side the highway. It's the path coming out of the tunnel from yesterdays post.

The Other Side of the Tunnel

Coming out of the tunnel (see photo below I posted yesterday)at Slab Cabin Run you can see this Weeping Willow Tree, along with the path that continues.


Another view of the picnic area under the weeping willow tree.
Here's a view looking through the fence above the tunnel. I'll show you the path tomorrow.

Looking Through The Tunnel At Slab Cabin Run.

This tunnel is a walking path that is located at Slab Cabin Run near Lemont just between Bellefonte and State College. It's about a 15 minute drive from Bellefonte. You can take walks or ride your bike. There's a creek along side the path. Tomorrow I'll post what you see at the end of the tunnel.

Stay Healthy Today. Happy 4th of July.

Wish I had a flag or fireworks to post today. But, since I don't and for those of you who are going to have picnics today, don't forget to have something healthy. Grapes are a good thing to snack on while watching the fireworks.

Hands Up!

This caught my eye because there were three people with their arms over their head at the same time.

Bald Eagle State Park

This photo was taken at Bald Eagle State Park, appox. a 15 minute drive from Bellefonte. It's a swimming and boating area.
