Life in a cabin on a mountain in southern Pennsylvania
About Me
- Carolyn H
- Roundtop Mtn., Pennsylvania, United States
- I live in a cabin in the forests of Pennsylvania. I write about what I see and do in the natural world around me. I've been a hawkwatcher for more than 20 years, a birder for longer than that, and a crayfish-catcher since I was a polywog.

Beautiful photo. Thanks for the warm wishes, they must be working cuz the forecast calls for nearly 60 degrees by the weekend.
Love and Joy come to you also Carolyn!
Dana and Daisy
Happy Holidays to you too!
What a picture.
That picture brings back memories of my Mom's favorite Christmas tree. It was a white flocked aluminun tree with all red satin balls and a rotating colored light shining on it! Remember those?
Merry Christmas to you!!
Lovely. Happy holidays to you too!
Happy Holidays to you too, Carolyn... Hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
Hugs,
Betsy

Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas...WOW what a terrific picture of that snow covered pine! Outstanding.
Chris
All: thanks for the nice words about this photo. It was taken in low light (hence the bluish tinge)during a wet dusting of snow that stuck to everything like glue, at least until the slightest breeze knocked it off.
