Catalina Preview
To say this was the best 4th of July I've ever had is just not enough to describe what an amazing time this past weekend in Catalina was. That description though is all that I'm leaving you with tonight.
I couldn't go to sleep tonight without sharing at least one photo from the trip! Here is that one photo to get warmed up for the huge post on Catalina being uploaded tomorrow night!
....it looks like i've been having some recent color issues when uploading photos. Will try to fix this tomorrow because the greyish tone has been really killing these photos.
My favorite playground
It's tough to hike in Yosemite because every turn you take, takes your breath away.
Now I've yet to travel outside of North America but I find it hard to believe that could be a park in this world that is more beautiful than Yosemite. The whole place is simply stunning. Every time I visit I tell myself that I am going to photograph something different, but when I get home and look at the photos I've taken they are always of the same views! I just can't help it if I have a few hundred photos of Yosemite falls, El Cap, Tunnel View and Half-Dome... I just can't get enough images of them all. it's all just mesmerizing and my mind becomes a blur every time I turn the corner, traveling on the 41, that gives me that first peek at the valley.
This trip was different though for me and very special. Ever since Laura and I decided to pack up and move to California, I've been thinking about the day I would finally get the chance to show her Yosemite. This little thought of mine finally happened last Thursday when we packed the car and headed into the Sierras for a long weekend camping trip. I've been there with friends and by myself before but being there with her was just different.
There are a lot of photos to go through but here are a few that caught my eye while sorting everything. I decided to experiment and do a little more post-processing than I normally would on some of the images. I'm kind of on the fence about it and will probably just post the originals in a day or two. Let me know what you think and enjoy!
