A Photo Essay by Ruth Taylor
Although Ruth Taylor grew up in Delaware County, PA, she often visited Bucks County as a child and loved the beauty of its natural surroundings. In fact, her fond memories and passion for the natural beauty were the main reason that she and her husband Steve relocated to Bucks County in 1986. Her desire to photographically capture scenes in the best light has led her to focus on some of the most artistic areas of Bucks County. Her collection of scenes show the wonderful beauty and light of the changing seasons. Often times Ruth returns daily looking to capture the perfect colors and light in order to create tranquil moods enjoyed by so many of her collectors.
Ruth interest in photography began during the summer of 2003 on the hour long drive home from her job in Princeton, NJ. She decided to enjoy the beauty of Bucks County by photographing it on the way home. By November of 2003 she began entering her photographs to online competitions. The first photo entered at Bytephoto.com won “Photo of the Week.” This gave her the incentive to continue to learn more about the art of photography. Ruth is a self-taught photographer who has honed her skills by interacting with some of the finest photographers through online photographic communities. She has expanded her vision by looking for scenic locations on weekend trips and vacations with her husband Steve. Their travel adventures have taken them along the East Coast and as far North as Quebec, Canada. However, Ruth is always drawn back to the beauty of Bucks County.
