Back in the saddle again
Monday, October 15th, 2007
Got back on the Heckler and took a ride on some trails in the wicked Wissahickon today. Was another perfect day for a ride, and a great chance to snap some photos with the new camera. Saturday I took a leisurely but extended ride along Forbidden drive, today I decided to do the real stuff and get on the trails. After a few lung buster climbs I would stop to compose myself and take some snapshots. In addition to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Philadelphia, I was fortunate enough to see a rather large mule deer, which I’ve never seen there before. Saturday I saw a family of wood ducks in the creek. I had seen them earlier in the season when the young ones were just small ducklings. The foliage isn’t quite all turned yet, still a lot of green, I’ll be sure to post more photos in the coming weeks as the leaves change.
Some more photos here.
