A Winter Wonderland In Bucks County

Today's photo blog is full of snowy scenes in Bucks County, PA around New Hope, Washington Crossing and Churchville. Winter brought us another 10-12 inches of snow turning our area into a winter wonderland.

The first photo is of the Revolutionary War Soldier's graves. All these head stones are marked Un-kown Soldier. The grave yard is several hundred feet from the Delaware canal in Washington Crossing Park. You can learn more about the Soldier's Graves by visiting the Pennsylvania Historical Commission website at this link.

 The view along the canal in Washington Crossing Park was beautiful in the morning. There were few tracks, here we see someone walking with his dog along the frozen canal. You can really get an idea of the size of the old trees in this shot.

The New Hope & Ivyland railroad station in New Hope is right next to the Delaware canal, just behind this antique Christmas display that was on the train platform at the New Hope station.

The cold wind blowing fresh snow from the tops of passengers cars. The temperature was 14'F degrees, a very brisk morning in New Hope,

The blowing snow catching sun rays.


This was the scene walking through Washington Crossing this morning.







A few miles from the canal lies the Washington Crossing National Cemetery. The white snow and grave markers in the morning sun create a unique landscape that can only be seen a few times throughout the winter.

If you look closely you can see sheep in the barn.
