My photo of the day was taken at Mahoning Creek Lake. I spent the day wandering around parts of the local region I'd not been to. This is roughly northwest of me. I had a great hike into this valley and am glad I did. Not only did I get great exercise, I was able to find a sense of peace of mind. (Something I need more and more these days!)

More photos of rural Western Pennsylvania in Winter can be seen in my PA Winter 2005 gallery.
