The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is nestled in the hills of Pennsylvania where our trees grow green in spring and transform to vibrant reds, oranges, pinks, and yellows in the fall. Where you can see wildlife from birds, frogs, deer, foxes, and chipmunks. Photographers Pat Frantz Cercone, Pat Tolerico, and Stephanie Eaton bring this place to life and capture perfect natural moments. These images have been entwined with poems by former and current Baily’s Beads staff and local community members.
