In the Quest For The Perfect Photo

 Anyone that knows me knows I love the GAP trail. For those of you not from my PA area that's the Great Allegheny Passage trail. I tend to walk parts of it in the Cedar Creek Area or near West Newton.

Cedar Creek has the best parking access in the off season and it also has the Gorge Trail. I didn't do the Gorge trail today because, well, it was rainy and I really wanted take in the beauty of the Youghiogheny River, but I was lured in by the sound of the waterfall that is under the GAP bridge.

Let's just say the trail access is blocked, so seeing the waterfall is damn near impossible. I might not have had to go to the lengths that I did if my Nikon's batteries hadn't given up the ghost as soon as I got into park.

So guess who crawled over tree limbs and slid on her ass down the hillside then stood in the middle of the creek to get a couple of pictures?

That would be me.

And the perfect photo?'

My Favorite Weekend Picture

I was off on Sunday. Woo hoo! And I wanted to get out and about. I am nuts. Remind me..in the winter STAY HOME AND READ!

However my sister and I ventured out to Cedar Creek Park aka my happy place and I took some photos.

This one is my favorite. I love the refection of the tree in the Youghiogheny.  Even though the day was really gloomy, I think this shot is gorgeous.
