Historical Incline






It was a beautiful day in Pittsburgh so we decided to go up to Mt. Washington to see the view! The main reason people go to Mt. Washington is to enjoy one of their many fancy restaurants that boast a beautiful view of the city. There is a historical incline that takes you up and down the hill to Mt. Washington. It was originally built to transport steel workers to and from work. As I said, today was a gorgeous day, so there were tourists swarming all over to take in the view. Practically everyone has a camera these days so we fit right in with them:)

Wildflower Reserve









We went hiking last week at the Wildflower Reserve in Raccoon Creek State Park, PA. I was expecting to be walking through prairies, but it was different trails throughout the woods. Still very beautiful! Just a tip for any ambitious hikers, bring bug spray! In a couple weeks I will have new Senior Portraits posted!

Robin Hill Park








There is a place called Robin Hill in Moon Township that I have drove by about a 100 times, always intrigued but never stopping. I finally decided to check it out and I am so glad i did. Robin Hill Park contains 200 acres of natural landscape. There is also a beautiful Georgian style home(can rent out for events), 1800's log cabin, senior center, gazebo, herb garden, and walking trails. I decided to add Robin Hill to my list of locations for local wedding photos. In the summer they have a wine tasting event, music in the park, and various other activities. I can't believe it took me 4 years to stop there!
