Bucolic Brandywine

 On Tuesday, Dad and I took a drive to Chadd's Ford in the Brandywine River area. Talk about PA at its finest. Living in TX,  I forget how you can get lost in the greenery and forested scenery.
 This is outside the Brandywine River Museum - featuring the works of the Wyeths - N.C., Andrew, and Jamie.   Here's a statue of a pig featured in a famous Jamie Wyeth painting.
 The Brandywine River flows along and there were kayaks and rafters enjoying a summer day.
Lush.

More on Monday. Dad and I enjoyed a special art exhibit.

Until then, have a super weekend.  I need to catch up  - hang with Ray, do laundry, and maybe catch a movie too.

  2. What a lovely place to visit! I can imagine lolling in the shade of that tree and just watching the river roll on by. But I'd have to go into the museum, too. After all, I AM a museum slut... :)

    1. yep - but it's more humid there, so seems stickier. I think my camera made it look greener than it really is - my guess is snakes are lurking. Yikes
