The view on Mt. Pisgah

We had a beautiful fall weekend so we decided to go out and enjoy it. We went for a hike up Mt. Pisgah. It's a short hike, only about a half hour to the top. We thought we'd try to get a few pictures of ourselves with the beautiful leaves in the background.
There are 2 problems with this idea.
1. Neither one of us are photogenic
2. It's near impossible to take a picture of ourselves- while holding the camera or not.

Here was our first attempt, one the way up the mountain.
Look at all my chins!! Not to mention Jacob is only half in the picture.

Once we got to the top, the view was just beautiful!! We could see for forever, and the leaves were all kinds of colors.

Attempt #2 at a picture

The sun was a little bright up there.
And, of course if you try to take a picture of yourself, you're too close to get any sort of background...

So we tried one last time
Let's face it.... the only thing up there worth taking a picture of was the beautiful scenery!
I wish you could see the colors more clearly...




Hope you guys got to go out and enjoy the beauty... snow will be here before you know it :-(
