After Irene

After Hurricane Irene came through there was various levels of damage around our area. This is the parking lot of the Chart House, a restaurant along the Delaware River. You can see the debris from where the river flooded up into the parking lot!

Watery Wednesday

Ice floating across the Delaware River.

Is it Spring Yet?

Frozen boats on the river at Washington's Crossing park.

3 eyed catfish?

The power plant near Tampa, Fl, spews out warm water making it the perfect place for various marine life to gather. Here you can see manatees, many different types of fish and plenty of tourist! Picture: catfish off the side of the walkway.

Watery Wednesday

The water in the fountain at the LOVE statue is dyed pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October!

City Swap!

I am doing a city swap with my "sister city," Portland, Oregon! Over the next few days I will be posting some pictures from the Portland area, and over at Portraits of Portland she will be posting some photos from her trip to Philadelphia! City Swap!

Multnomah Falls, just a short (10 minute!) drive from Portland!

If you are interested in doing a "city swap" please email me at: blogginginpa (at) gmail (dot) com! Not all cities are available at this time. Some available cities include: New York, Forks/Olympic Peninsula, Orlando, West Coast of Florida and Playa Flamingo/Taminrindo, Costa Rica.

Baseball Themed Phanatic

The Philly Phanatic strikes again! This one is the baseball themed Phanatic and was found in front of the Seaport Museum. I still have a couple more pictures of these guys to share, but I didn't get all of them! Unfortunately, they are auctioning off the Phantics statues so I wont be able to take pictures of all of them. However, you could have a nice statue for your house!

Watery Wednesday

Hey folks! This is another waterfall from the nearby Pocono Mountains. This is Bridal Veil Falls, which is along the same path as the waterfall I showed you guys a few days ago, Bushkill falls.

This is my entry to this week's "Watery Wednesday." Hello "water" people! Welcome to my daily photo blog for Philadelphia! Check out the other entries here.

Bushkill Falls

This is Bushkill Falls in the nearby Poconos Mnts. It is a beautiful hike and along the way you see several waterfalls in addition to Bushkill Falls. The trail is man made, with bridges and stairs all along and over the river.

Cooling Off

The fountain at Logan Square seemed like a good place for many people to cool off on the 4th of July. I temp was about 99F so I don't blame them! (despite the clear "no swimming" signs!)

Boathouse Row

This is a view of Boathouse Row from the river. The small waterfall is from the river's water works, which used to be the biggest water treatment plant in the country, and is now a museum about water.

Cooling Off

The fountain outside the Comcast building in Center Center seems like a good place to cool off on a hot summer day!

Love Fountain

The fountain in Love Park. The fountain is a nice background to the LOVE sculpture, but also looks good by itself! In October, they dye the water pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Scenes from Franklin Square

The fountain at Franklin Square park with the merry-go-round in the background.

No Swimming!! This means YOU!

You are not allowed to swim in the fountain that has no water in front of the art museum.  Just in case you were confused :-)

reflections from yesterday

This is the reflection of the USS Olympia.  This is a completely new picture, not a cropped picture from yesterday's post!  This boat can be found at Penn's Landing.
