Salmon River Outing...

Yesterday I took a little break from model shoots and portraits and went on a road trip to the Salmon River. It was such a beautiful day to be out shooting and too nice to stay home. So Emma and I and my friend and fellow photographer Michael headed north to the Salmon River.

We first went to the Salmon River Falls and hiked along the trail and hung out at the top of the falls. The trails were still snow covered and hard to manuever but we managed. I was surprised to see so many people at the falls. It was a beautiful day and very warm on the rocks along the top. Unfortunately, Emma was having too much fun and slipped and fell into some water shortly after we arrived. And this one time I didn't bring a change of clothes for her. Thank goodness she dried pretty quickly and Michael let her sit on his sweatshirt (which I think soaked up a lot of the water from her bottom).

After the Salmon River Falls, we went to McDonalds in Pulaski and had some lunch. As soon as we parked at McDonalds we noticed two Amish horse and buggies tied up in the parking lot. Of course we grabbed our cameras and took a few shots. It was a very unusual site to see.

When we finished our lunch we then went along the Salmon River to hopefully photograph the fly fisherman. We stopped at several parking areas and took some pictures and let Emma have a little fun on the shore of the river. That girl has no fear. She really had fun trying to skip stones and collecting rocks. She also pretended she was fishing.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and it was nice being outdoors enjoying the fresh air. I am planning another trip in the summer and again in the fall when the Salmon are spawning. It really is a beautiful place to visit and photograph.
