I don't spend all my time in the country.
This shot was taken on the Monongahela River while acting as a chaperon
for my daughter's high school foreign travel club trip.

My father's family has been in Hastings for probably a hundred years. Woodleys, Stumpf, Nagle, Lantzy's. I was raised near Bakerton / Nicktown area. Was called Hill 13 when Mine 25 was in operation. I live in Lancaster now, and have for 25 years. Where is bugtown?
I love the pics. You are a very talented man. I think when a picture makes you want to jump in, then the photographer got it just right. I like to kill bugs, but somehow you managed to make them look kinda nice.
