Finally October the Beautiful

Wow sun at last! This past weekend we got out and enjoyed our first taste of beautiful fall weather. The temprature was perfect and slightly crisp and the sky a beautiful azure with the sunlight streaming through the trees. Magnifcent. One of the fun things about my job is that I am always noticing and appreciating beautiful lighting.
A friend of Helen’s had told her about a short trail at Harrison Bay State Park for mountain bikes. So on Sunday we headed over to Harrison Bay about 4:30 pm. Sydney loves to ride her bike but she had never ridden on an actual trail for mountain bikes. The trail is very easy but has lots of roots and a few rocks so was a good introduction to mountain bike paths. She had so much fun that we went back and did it again on Monday evening. We went a little later and as we were riding around the path I picked out several spots that I want to do kids or family portraits. Yes, you will have to hike but you will end up with a portrait like no one else. The lighting was beautifully dramatic and the lake shimmered in the background. 
I took a couple of photographs with my point and shoot to give you an idea of how pretty it is. So the first person that calls to schedule a session on this trail will get their session for FREE. It is so cool that I want to do a rustic portrait out there.

We had such an awesome time. The only problem I had was trying to look at the scenery and watch out for the roots and rocks in the trail. I decided I had better watch the trail when I was riding and stop when I wanted to look at the scenery.
Sydney said “we have to go back to this trail a hundred million times.”
