Exploratory hiking at Ohiopyle
Spring is finally here and the temperatures were doing a fine job of rising. Until the weekend of course, when the temps dropped over 20 degrees overnight and frosted the windshield of my car. I gathered up a backpack full of water, energy bars and camera gear and headed out anyway. Having all morning to myself, I decided to hike some trails at Ohiopyle that I haven’t been on before. It was a nice 7+ mile hike that let me scope out the trails and see if there was anything that would be bring me back later in the season for a closer look. The light was a bit harsh, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the foliage wasn’t quite blooming yet. Regardless, it was still a great time. Here are a few of the shots I managed.
A sunny day winter hike
We are finally getting a fair amount of snow to go along with the bitterly cold weather. In the past few days, about 4-6 inches of snow has dropped. Fresh snow combined with a beautiful sunny day is just what I hoped for, so I packed a camera bag set off to one of my favorite places to hike, Ohiopyle State Park. My first stop of the day was Cucumber Falls followed by a quick walk around the natural waterslides and then the main park area.
The weekend in pictures
Once again, it is late Sunday night and I am watching a football game and updating my blog. The weekend was great, just too short as always. Below are some examples of what we saw followed by a few portraits I did for friends.
Now for the portraits. We ventured out to West Overton village and found some nice spots for pictures. This was my first time doing portraits here and I was pleasantly surprised. I hope to go back.
That’s it for now. Until next time.
