the way I see the world
I have a lot of photos from our recent trip that could be reviewed and worked on (or dumped). Instead, though, I have gone back a year. I suspect it’s because Dan is in on a Sierra trip right now and this is my way of coping. Or something.
This is from our pack trip. (Dan is currently with some of the same men who were on the trip I was able to take.) We had some wonderful weather while we were out … I love it when rain comes in or even just threatens to do so.

Who knew this would be the first photo I’d post from an Eastern Sierra aspen trip? But here it is … not an aspen in sight. I just like the color palette. So there you go. Of course I will be posting aspen color soon, but it may take a few days to manage to get to the images. I have a somewhat full schedule at the moment.

I’m still visiting photos from the pack trip.

This is another instance of “I wish I’d taken the time to get the Canon out!” … or at least, “I should have used the Lightroom app so this would have been shot in RAW.”
Oh well.

This is only an iPhone photo, and it won’t print large, which is what I’d love to see.
Yet another lesson learned: don’t choose to use the iPhone simply because you are too lazy to change lenses on the camera(s) that will allow for larger prints!
Still I do believe this will make a lovely card.
This is from our pack trip, and was my favorite meadow. It was evening and the sun was quickly leaving us.
The Meadow & the Mountain, 8.28.17
Indeed I would return in an instant … if only I could!
I continue to look through all the images I have. So many make me yearn to go back to those mountains and meadows and forget all the “stuff of life” that interferes with my selfish desire to bask in the beauty of the Sierra Nevada.
I miss the other people on this trip, too. I will be forever grateful that they allowed me to tag along!
Meadow, Lake, Mountains, 9.2.17
I’ve quickly perused a number of photos from our trip and I do believe I’ll have some I’m quite happy with. I’m working on landscape photography: flora is easy, landscape is not. At least for me! (I’m also bad about naming images, so what you see below is what you get. Date and time work just fine for me.)
