Week #14

 

Reflections on the Brandywine River

This week I made my annual trip back to Pennsylvania to spend time with my family. Both my mother, my sister and her family live in the Brandywine River Valley. This is the area that Andrew Wyeth lived and captured so beautifully in his paintings. Though not the area I grew up in, I have fallen in love with this landscape and look forward to coming back each year.

The Brandywine Art Museum is a must stop if you are in the area. They have a large collection of the Wyeth family's art work and the setting is both beautiful and peaceful. This picture was taken of my mom and brother-in-law as they took a moment to reflect out on the Brandywine River.

Week #15 Photo Challenge

Bark

Yesterday, I took a walk down by the river at the Brandywine River Museum, to take in the first spring like day. I closed my eyes, took a breath and asked for nature to speak. This image was her answer.

Impressions from the Brandywine River Valley

I just returned from a week in the Brandywine River Valley. Spring was just starting to appear after a long winter. The Brandywine River Valley runs through portions of Southern Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware. It was the home of Andrew Wyeth and the vast DuPont family. This a beautiful area filled with farms, rolling hills, and quiet woods.
