McCONNELL'S MILL, PA
There are just some places that give you a sense of peace, calm and total relief. McConnell's Mill is one of those places for me. Thanks to Ingrid, I now have another place to relax, think, write and take beautiful photographs.
Just some basic info - McConnell's Mill State Park is nestled in the gorge of Slippery Rock Creek in Pennsylvania. It was built in 1868 by Thomas McConnell. Perfect spot for picnic, or to meditate.

PHILADELPHIA , PA
If you are a romantic at heart and love history, then you must walk the streets of Philadelphia with your dearest one night!
My friends know I don't like to walk far distances. Yes, I'm kind of lazy with the exercise regime. However, I was totally captivated by the impressive layout and immaculate streets, which jolted me back 16th century. I was captured by the genius of Benjamin Franklyn and William Penn. Both men will forever be celebrated in Philly for their insight, dedication and creativity.
As I walked along Walnut and 2nd Street, I am reminded of Paris. The streets were lined with restaurants from the sophisticated to the ...shall I say... "down to earth". ( No cry babies!)
You cannot visit Philly without having the famous "Philly cheese steak"!
Place to stay - Embassy Suites - central and comfortable
Places to visit - All the museums (if you are a history freak, like myself) , City Hall, Liberty Bell, Carpenter's Hall, Independence Hall, National Constitution Centre, U.S. Mint, Betty Ross House ( she designed the American flag). If you are a "Rocky" fan, you'll be right at home here.Boy, talk about the birthplace of " life liberty and the pursuit of happiness"!
If you are looking for all night shopping, forget Philly. The stores are closed by 7 p.m....go to the clubs and restaurants with your loved one! Or just walk hand in hand through the city!
I didn’t have the time to do climb up the "Rocky steps" and do my thing, but next time…
I had only an hour to capture a few shots, before I was wisked off to my duties...so enjoy...
I also welcome your comments.
Kindest Regards.

Tell me this:
WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU WOULD DO IF YOU COULD NEVER FAIL?
(Or if you have several things in mind list them)
N.B. You have all the resources and all the skills to make this a reality!
You don't have to leave your name if you don't feel like it.
