Valley Forge in the Spring

Last weekend I went home to Philly for Easter where the weather couldn't have been more perfect. The sun was shining, a light breeze was blowing and the flowers and trees were in full bloom. We had Easter dinner at my aunt and uncle's house so my dad and I decided to take the long way there through Valley Forge National Park. Since it was so gorgeous out, we had the top of his convertible down which was perfect for taking pictures.
Here are some of the shots I was able to get as we drove through the park.

I encourage everyone to take half an hour to drive through the parks or out to the country and experience the wonderful spring weather. 

Winter at Valley Forge

Yes it has been awhile since my last post but with finals, Christmas, my birthday and New Years I just didn't have a chance to post anything. I was home in Philly for 2 weeks for Christmas and with all my crazy family I needed some alone time so I went over to Valley Forge Park for a few hours for some peace and quiet. I wanted to go along a trail behind the picnic area but it was already closed off, so instead I wandered around behind the church. Unfortunately it didn't snow, which would have made everything more beautiful but I still found some winter wonders.

Love the detail

Make sure to take some time out for yourself when things get hectic. Take a camera along because you never know what interesting things you will see.
