winter_elfI'm back... and soooo far behind on LJ!
5 days of wilderness, bugs and camping in a really beautiful place and I'm even more glad for things like showers! :) The weather was nice and getting hot - it started out in the 80's and got to upper 80's by the time we left. Pretty much bright, clear, blue skys with a few puffy clouds on the last day. Nights were nice (except for the bugs) in the upper 50's. Basically a light jacket and a long sleeved shirt and one was fine.
We had the usual misadventures of injuries and grumpyness, but I think we all had a good time. I'm afraid to get on a scale to see if![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hotmarscube's cooking had me gain weight or not *groan* The disadvantage of having a good cook along :)
Took a hike, did a bike ride, and two different photo classes - one by the Ansel Adams gallery and one by Canon, shopped and hung out at our campsite. I learned stuff in both photo classes, and I was especially glad for the Canon class - as I have a Canon camera and some tricks to do things with it was nice.
But I'm glad to be home and my cats, after a few hours of 'I'm not talking to you' are back to clinging and trying to crawl into my lap as I'm typing this!
And here are some pics. I took about 250 total. A lot duplicates and such. Here's 7 of them
stream view from our campsite - or really,psyche7772 & mercator_7's campsite, which we all hung out at. This is the Merced river.
A meadow
River Merced via a bridge on a hike
Upper Yosemite Falls view through a tree. I took a LOT of pictures of the Yosemite Falls - as it was basically the subject matter in both photoclasses and is the falls one sees in the valley.
Flowers in the meadow
Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls
a view of Half Dome. I really didn't get a good picture of it. All mine look hazy. Too much sun/too bright. I really needed some filters and/or to take pics of it at sundown/sunrise
