FROM 'TRADITIONAL TO AVANT GARDE' PHILLIPS MILL PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION 5/24/15-6/21/15

Location: Phillips Mill, 2619 River Road, NEW HOPE, PA
Time: Wednesdays through Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

           Fridays and Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Sponsored by: Phillips Mill Photographic Exhibition
Contact: Theresa Katalinas 215-519-8833   

For a month-long stint, the 128 photos chosen to be showcased as part of the 23rd annual Phillips Mill Photographic Exhibition represent every theme, idea and concept imaginable. Held May 24-June 21, the exhibition features a vast array of images that jurors selected from a pool of 467 photos submitted. In all, approximately 300 photographers entered their work for consideration. This year's event is being juried by Paul Grecian, of Quakertown, Wendy Paton, of Lambertville, N.J. and Rick Smith, of Philadelphia. Photographer Barbara Warren, of Yardley, has been submitting her work to the show for the last 15 years and said she continues to do so because "it's kind of a unique show." "It doesn't have a theme," she said. "It just focuses on the photographers as artists and photos as art." The exhibition provides "a lot of freedom" for its entrants, she said. The show has plenty to offer - even for non-photographers, Warren said.

School Is Almost Out – Now What

School is almost out for the summer. Within the next couple of weeks, the ice cream trucks will be ringing their bells in neighborhoods across Bucks County, kids will be playing in each other’s yards, and the quietness you’ve experienced in your development will be temporary filled with laughter and the sounds of children playing.

Summer is wonderful. It’s filled with not only the sounds of children playing and laughing, but the scents of bbq’s each night, splashing in pools, the smell of freshly cut lawns, and the gorgeous colors of flowers in bloom.

It also means relaxation – summer is a time many of us get to enjoy time as a family, either for a vacation or just a quick getaway on the weekends. We are located so close to the Jersey shore, it’s very easy for all of us to enjoy some time on our local beaches. Bucks County is near the Pocono mountains, which are perfect for camping and hiking, not to mention many of the great amusement parks in our area such as Great Adventure and Hershey Park!

I hope you take the time this summer to enjoy some relaxation, take a well-deserved dip in the pool (especially after the winter we all experienced), and spend some time with your families and loved ones.

If you are thinking of moving to Yardley, Washington Crossing or Doylestown, or considering selling your home, call me today at 215-519-1399 or visit my website for more information.
