brilliant photos!!
I have always wanted to go to Yellowstone and to see the Redwoods. Maybe I will someday. I sure hope so!
Beautiful. I bet it was a wonderful trip.
I'm going out to Arches and Colorado National Monument in July with my family. Can't wait to get out there.
I'm with Lisa . . . I have always wanted to go to Yosemite. Is this a graduation trip for Katie?
Thanks for the wonderful pictures, Krysta. I've never been to Yosemite and I'm not likely to get there considering my advanced years so this is a treat.
These are gorgeous. I wish I could smell the air.
I absolutely LOVE that place... great memories! Cheers!
I can remember hiking in Yosemite with my mother as an 8 year old. We spent a week camping on the valley floor.
I returned in 84 and made it to the base of half-dome but had to turn back to get to my car before darkness fell and return to San Francisco to work the next day.
I've been back a couple of times since and have a Edward Weston print of Yosemite on my office wall. Printed by his son Cole. Lake Tenaya 1940.
