Hickory Run

Recently my brother, his girlfriend---who is like a sister to me, and my husband and I went hiking and camping at Hickory Run State Park. We of course, brought the dogs as well. It was a great weekend filled with beautiful hiking, relaxing moments in front of the fire, and awesome camping neighbors.

We went for a very long hike in which I took a lot of pictures. When we came back, the couple on the campsite next to us shared burgers and hotdogs with us, as well as great conversation.

Here are a few artistc shots that I took on our hike, as well as some other fun photographs...

Everyone stops for a break at the vista...

Overall it was a great weekend!

Hiking & Photography

Hiking is one of the things I love doing and enjoy because I can photograph nature, as well as spend time with my dogs. We plan to go camping soon, and it is my hope that I will not only get to go on a few fun hikes, but that a photo opportunity will present itself.

Pennsylvania has many great hiking trails. Some of my favorites have been Rickett's Glen, Ralph Stover - High Rocks, Hawk Mountain, and many more. In honor of another summer, I'd like to share a few photos from a hike we went on previously. The photographs below are from Rickett's Glen State Park...

I am looking forward to hopefully getting some more great shots this summer and spending time with friends and family outdoors! 

Also, just a reminder, I will be participating in the Peddler's Village 2009 Fine Arts and Contemporary Crafts Show on June 6th & June 7th, from 10am to 6pm. It is a great opportunity to spend the day looking at artwork and discovering local artists.

I hope everyone is having a great week!  :)
