Early fall in Pennsylvania

 The last couple months have been a whirl with activity. Moving into a new home, starting school, starting work, exploring our surroundings, etc. Here are a few recent photos from our adventures in Lancaster and beyond. The picture above was taken at Chickies Rock along the Susquehanna River about 20 minutes drive west of Lancaster.
