“But, for all that, they had a very pleasant walk. The trees were bare of leaves, and the river was bare of water-lilies; but the sky was not bare of its beautiful blue, and the water reflected it, and a delicious wind ran with the stream, touching the surface crisply.”

So the LONG hiatus of no outdoorphins has come to an end!
I am back… (and married)! Now that the overwhelming project of planning my wedding is D-O-N-E I can get back to more important things…. Like posting all the photos that I have acquired in the last few months!
Although I will be the first to admit I was an AWFUL photographer this past summer and fall (I blame bride brain).
However I was able to capture a few shots from our Lakeside wedding cottage the Friday before our wedding; the calm before the storm (… no literally it rained… c’est la vie… I still got married 
…
… the light changed so quickly as the sun began to rise…

… the Mist Trail part of the John Muir trail in Yosemite National Park was the site of some deaths this past year… including the death of 3 hikers.
This shot was taken a few days before the incident…

Definitely was a dangerous year in Yosemite…
