The Bridges Of Mingo Creek Park

There are 2 covered bridges in Mingo Park. Today I got to snap a few shots of both The Henry and The Ebenezer bridges as well as the creek.

Picturesque Trees

There was something extremely captivating about the trees in these 2 photos. I'm not sure what it was, but I seemed to capture it nicely.

Bridges in Ohiopyle

Ok, its a given, I love water, but I'm also a fan of bridges. I'm sure there's a 12 step program that will help me but until then....here are some pictures.

The Rapids

The Cucumber Falls

I went to Ohiopyle State Park today and I got the surprise of my life. The Cucumber Falls had undergone a transformation. A transformation caused by a very wet few weeks.



Last year:




This year:

The Rest of The Roars!

The Green Monster



The Painted Pittsburgh Pachyderm.



The Monongahela Monster! (Funny that doesn't look at all like that ride from Kennywood that I used to love)



The Lionfish Out Of Water.



Houndstooth the Squirrel (aka Justin! Cos I call all Squirrels Justin, but that's a long story)




OK, I can't remember the exact names of these two inflatables. All I know is that they deal with steel and zombies.

Pittsburgh Roars

Or so they'd like us to believe. The best part of Pittsburgh roaring, is that they have these lovely inflatable things in Oakland right now. They will make their way through the city during the year. After all, Oakland isn't the only part of the city that can make some noise.



See look! It's roaring! Or rather growling!

Fotopherrets

It's time for the Hump Day Hunt from Fotopherrets.

The word of the week is: Green

When we were in Pittsburgh on Sunday, we walked behind the Carnegie Museum of Modern Art and through the window you could see some of the displays. I was able to snap this shot of some glass objects. I don't think you can get much greener than the the bowl and vase in this shot.

Oakland!

In Pittsburgh's Oakland disctrict, there are many colorful and amusing sites.



The "O". One of the best places to get cheap food in Pittsburgh!



Kings Court, now vacant, but one of the more colorful buildings in the area.




The Cathedral of Learning is featured in both of these shots, as well as the Pitt Towers which look suspiciously like thermos bottles gracing the sky.



Joe Mama's Italian Deli, not to be confused with Yo Mama's House which is in Monessen.




A very cute Mexican restaurant on Forbes.

Orchids

The orchids were exceptionally lovely this time. I think I saw some different blooms, which is odd. The orchid room is one of two rooms that never really change much.

Tulips!

The spring flower show at Phipps was all about Tulips. Tulips in every color under the sun and in every size as well.

Here are a few of the beautiful flowers I saw today. I took over 200 pictures today, so there will be lots more in the days to come.

Barnyard Kitty

This sweet thing was wandering around the barn with the cows. Gorgeous kitty!
