hi there! it's been a while, but
i'm getting back to my routine...so 1 1/2 weeks ago i traveled to the country side of Yosemite National Park...i was there for 4 days with a photo club and had a fabulous time!....i met amazing people that truly have the passion for photography and mother nature....i learned, hiked about 10 miles, and had the time of my life! we experienced beautiful clear skies (as you can tell by the pictures), rain, hail, thunderstorms, windy and sunny moments....we hiked to locations such as
Bennetville, Dana Gardens, Mount Dana, Pothole Dome,
Tuolumne Cascades, Saddlebag Lakes, and Mono Lake....the following are some of my faves...
the picture above is the sunset at mono lake...
forgot the name to the wild flower, but it was beautiful...
one of the first pictures of Saddlebag Lake...I was speechless...
the picture above is one of my favorites...
even though this was a location and not a vacation, i relaxed on an emotional and spiritual level, was at peace with mother nature, and feel more than blessed to have witnessed this side of Yosemite! take care and i hope to blog sooner than later! *
