One of my early summer adventures this year involved a couple of my favorite things. A day spent with both my daughters, having fuzzy Teddy along for the ride and photography. I feel lucky that I got my girls to agree to go on this ride-along with me! The four of us piled into my car and headed west to the Chester-Blandford State Forest, about a 50 minute ride from here.
I had hopes of taking some really spectacular pictures of rushing water, but it probably should have occured to me that late June of a fairly dry spring wouldn’t be the time for wild water. However, we enjoyed an easy walk through the shade of trees and followed a path that eventually turned out at a small fall that I imagine could be quite pretty when flowing at full capacity. I took this picture with Meghan in the shot to give some idea of scale.
Sarah and Teddy waited near the bottom while Meghan climbed up to do a bit of exploring.
My best shot of the bunch I took:
So not a glamorous rushing thundering waterfall shot, but a good day! Sunshine, a walk, my daughters, my dog, and my camera – time well spent.
What I would consider a perfect day.

It was pretty great! We even stopped at a “locally famous” burger joint on our way home to add a nice ending to our adventure.

Thanks Mike. I hope to find more opportunity to try again in the future. It was a good day.
