I am lucky enough to live less than 2 miles from Peace Valley, part of the Bucks County Park System. Peace Valley Park consists of 1500 acres of public land, including a 365 acre lake, Lake Galena. Over 14 miles of hiking trails afford solitude with lakeside and stream-side views at the Peace Valley Nature Center. It is my conduit to my meeting spot for my weekday cycling runs.

The slowly changing water temperature, when coupled with cool air in the mornings has made for some interesting fog formations as the fog clings to the water even over the spillway as the video below shows.

And its equally beautiful in January. The shot above shows the geese trying to find that warm water as the ice melted (Jan. 16, 2010).

And then of course, there are always the sunrises. The next 3 photos were all shot on the same morning within 15 minute of each other.
