Away we went

Silver Lake, June Lake Loop


Porcupine Peak, Yosemite

Mono Lake

Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite

wildflowers of Yosemite---took everything in me to not pick them

I am so grateful to California and all her graceful beauty. It is so massive. Our road-trip last week was incredibly awe-inspiring and liberating (no cell reception). Nothing puts things into perspective quite like a return to nature, don't you think? I also have never swam in as many lakes, so clean, fresh and turquoise blue, than I did on this trip. Mother Nature, I love you. 

Wild lupine, mountain pennyroyal, larkspur, clover, phlox and poppies were in bloom in all the meadows and fields...it really was breathtaking. If only I could have a wildflower pop-up shop there...

  5. this pics sent me right down memory lane - it's so vastly beautiful.
    and really, isn't that slow pace of life really what it's all about?!
    so glad you got to do that little trip, may there be many more!
