First off,
Here’s some Fall colors! I love the Fall time of year. The air is crisp, cool and you can smell chimneys and bonfires for miles. Football is in full swing (GO BIRDS) and it’s hoodie weather. So I changed up the colors on the site to celebrate this! If you’re reading this during another season, you’ll see these colors again!

Christmas comes and Fall, well after a couple seasons, falls upon us. Old Bedford Village is one of my favorite places to visit during the Christmas season. It’s now become a favorite of the Autumn season as well as they offer their “Pumpkinfest” activities.
Pumpkinfest is available October 18 (you missed it) and 19 (you probably missed it too) so look for it next year!
Even though Pennsylvania’s experts couldn’t figure out a chart versus a map, the foliage was pretty lame. Their charts said, “near peak,” but the map was accurate in stating these leaves were barely changing. So my hopes weren’t sky high. This was disappointing, but still gave way for a fun photography adventure. I always make the best of it!
So again, today, I visited for the thousandth time Old Bedford Village. As I mentioned, this is one of my favorite places to visit. The colonial area home that have been relocated are cozy, homey and just a blast to visit. There are always fires roaring in the fireplaces, reenactors doing their thing and the smell of wood burning billows through the air. The atmosphere makes you want to slip your boots off and kick your feet in the air and just relax.
Unlike the Christmas visits, they had some of the homes available for exploration upstairs. Generally, these are closed off for safety reasons because the Christmas tours are at night and the homes are lit only by candle light and fireplaces.
Per usual, below are some images I captured using my Fuji GFX 50S II and 45-100mm glass. Enjoy!
