Feeling Small

Start by doing what's necessary;
 then do what's possible; 
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

The View from the Top

The View... The Mountains



The Hike to the Top



“Mountains are only a problem when they are bigger than you. You should develop yourself so much that you become bigger than the mountains you face.”

Day 10 - March 2019 - Moro Rock


Remember my LOVE for Black and white?
.
When I saw the way the light was shining on this trail,
I knew I wanted it to be a Black and White photo.
.
I might also take it in color too.... just in case
.
but in this case
.
I love how the B&W turned out!

Day 5 - March 2019 - Sunset in the Sequoias



I have to be honest and tell you - the camera can not capture the mood, the feel and the amazing colors that the whole forest turns. Well, maybe my camera can not capture it - but it was SO amazing!

Day 4 - March 2019 - Sunset in the forest




What a magical time to be in the middle of the trees - off to the west the sun started setting and changed the WHOLE mood of the forest.  It also got colder!

Day 26 - February 2019






There is a little trail that goes around the Sherman Tree
.
.
This was on the trail behind it
.
.
I thought the rings that you could see,
.
and the fire damage was pretty cool

Day 25 - February 2019

We are still on the trail to the General Sherman Tree...

It was cool to see it peeking through other trees...
.
but then to approach it - and find no one standing by it  - I was happy!!

Day 24 - February 2019



Fall Colors are always my favorite
We had been down in the Fresno/Bakersfield area and it still felt like summer

there was snow 
and definitely FALL!

Day 22 - February 2019

I am taking you back to the Sequoias today. Our trip was so amazing, and I took so many photos that it is taking me a while to go through them. But in doing so, I am sure enjoying reliving the vacation
.
.
.
Do you ever see faces in trees?   I feel like there was something looking at me ;-)
