I don't suppose this private residence entrance along
the Clarion River in the area of Cook Forest
has been here as long as the ancient trees
but I would say it has some age.
Ventures: an undertaking involving uncertainty of the outcome. ---my field of view through photography. Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to discovering your Blogs with their wonderful photos, conversation and words of wisdom and encouragement. Each of you are a blessing to my day.

Inn at Cook Forest
Seemed appropriate to present the old Inn
in Black & White
The Cook Family homestead
is now open as a bed and breakfast.
Ancient, towering forests. The National Wild and Scenic Clarion River. Thousands of acres to explore. Stay at the heart of it all with a hearty breakfast in the morning.
no link up with Black & White Wednesday this week
Adrienne is having computer issues.

A Great Blue and A Majestic Hemlock
It was exciting to spy this Great Blue Heron high atop a Pennsylvania state tree, the Eastern Hemlock, in Cook Forest.
Often called "William Penn Trees," trees of this size are often 300 years of age, dating to the era of William Penn, the first governor of "Penn's Woods."
Day Trip - Cook Forest
Historical Points of Interest in Cook Forest, PA.
Log Cabin Inn:
Cook Forest's environmental learning center is a large log building built in 1934 by the CCC.
Sawmill Historical Room:
This electric powered mill operated for a little over one year to saw salvage cut timber from the park. Most of the earlier mills were water driven and found along Tom's Run.
The Sawmill houses displays and a gift shop for a local arts and craft organization.
Offers fascinating displays of logging and rafting tools, models, and other artifacts.

Day Trip North
While on a day trip to what has been called
a 'forest catherdral'
we stopped at this country store.
There were several 'blues' to choose from
but I chose to add to my white pitcher collection.
It's a nice size for bathroom organization.

Breaking Find
I don't normally do more than one entry but know Tom will want to see this one. Just caught it yesterday. Route 66 I believe, south of Leeper, PA. We were travelling from Cook Forest.

Alas
This Cicada never finished the cycle. We found it on the driveway.
No more night time serenade from high in a tree.
Such unbelievable detail!
Once roots are found the cicada will stay underground from 2 to 17 years depending on the species. Cicadas are active underground, tunneling and feeding. After the long 2 to 17 years, cicadas emerge from the ground as nymphs. Nymphs climb the nearest available tree, and begin to shed their nymph exoskeleton.

Surprises; Simple Pleasures
'J'
'J'ust a fact.
Lucy never ceases to amaze us with the comfort zones she creates all on her own. And watching her do it is entertaining.
This body pillow was laying across the back of the sofa before she 're-arranged' things to her satisfaction and snuggled in.
'Favorite'
I called it a hovercraft; the RG chose drone.
'Surprise'
See 'Favorite' above. I was capturing the butterfly and spied the bee when I downloaded the photo.
Lost and Found?
I snapped this mirror reflection as we were leaving the state park
I hope someone returns to retrieve their lunch cooler.
