Pictures from PA Trip

I did get to visit one of my favorite spots one afternoon while in PA. It is called "Fishermans Cove". It is located just a few miles from where my eldest daughter lives.



However ..... to get to this spot you have to cross an old leaning covered bridge that has no weight limit posted.


Hmmm.... do you think it will hold?? and can I squeeze my RV through?




Whew! Made it to the other side... without scraping the sides or falling through.
So, on to some beautiful scenery!




The water on the left down over the bank, is called "Big Sandy"


This man was about to take his German Shorthaired Pointer for a walk



...... on the bike trail/walking path that crosses the old railroad grade.



This leaf-covered bank is part of the old grade.



And here lie some deteriorated parts of the old railroad ties, covered in moss.



Here is another shot of "Big Sandy" through a growth of feathery Canadian pines.



...... and on up the road we go.


Arriving at the peaceful "Fisherman's Cove"






Mostly maintained by the preservation society.



The boat launch site is beautiful...



This is where the Big Sandy runs into the Allegheny River.


Love these tree reflections in the water.


I stopped half the way back and set up to paint but only got it half way done before getting too damp and cold, but I did get lots of pictures so I can work on some back at the studio. More pictures in another post.
