when you get to asheville

Over Memorial Day weekend, the husband, myself, and a friend of ours road-tripped our way down to Asheville, NC for the long weekend.  Asheville had been on our road trip bucket list for a while and since we finally had a reliable car, we decided to take advantage of the long weekend and kick off the Summer with a trip down south.  It was everything we imagined it would be.  I plan on sharing more photos of our time spent there in the next few weeks but in the meantime, here is a little preview of our trip.

Linking up with Bonnie and Tiffany today!

Scavenger Hunt Monday

This week's Scavenger Hunt was a fun one.  A lot to do with the outdoors (at least for me) and changing my perspective.  I love Spring and everything most things it brings.

1. Clouds

View of the sky from the car through the sunroof on a gorgeous afternoon.  Don't worry, I was parked in our driveway;) 

 2. Low Angle

Yesterday, I went with my husband and mother-in-law on a nice long walk through Sewickley.  They My mother-in-law was very patient while I stopped for my many photo opportunities.  

 3. High Angle

This was taken during another gorgeous Spring walk.  So glad I captured the little guy here.  He was hard to get.  

 4. Sun Flare

One of my favorite things to shoot these days is sun flare.   

5. Seven

For those of you who don't know American Sign Language this is the sign for "7" 

I hope everyone's Monday wasn't too horrible.  I have yet another headache.  YUCK!  Stupid allergies (this is why I don't love everything Spring). 

Fall Beauty - Merriman Road

Anyone who lives in Pittsburgh knows it is one of the most beautiful cities in the US to explore.  Pittsburgh in Fall is EVEN more beautiful.  Driving on back rounds, twisting and turning, up and down hills is one of my favorites things to do in the Fall here.  I drove down this winding road the morning before I took these photos to run some errands and took note of the time of day so I could come back the next day to capture Fall beauty at it's finest.  Much to Chris's dismay, we did.  And I am so happy we did.

ENJOY!

These photos were taken on Merriman Road in Harmony.  It connects to Big Sewickley Creek.  

I love how you can see the winding road from here.  Feels like you are in a story book. 

Sun's peaking through. 

I love the sun rays coming through the trees here.

LOVE the yellow.  

Stay tuned for more Pittsburgh in Fall photos.

Have a FANTASTIC Saturday everyone!
