Tioga Pass, summer 2016

I’m looking forward to my Yosemite Full Moon & Fall Colors workshop coming up November 12 – 16, and working on my schedule for next year, when you can join me to photograph the unique sights available away from the crowds of Yosemite Valley!

November 2012… join me here for a workshop November 2016!

太陽の優しく温かな光りが空を覆っていました。
そのなかで、雪化粧した山並みや巨大な岩山の頂上に優しく注がれていました🎶
空気の冷たさを感じますが、太陽の温かさが寒さを和らげて心まで優しい気持ちになりました🎵
ありがとうございます。
日にちや時間はわかりませんが、笑顔のある週末をお過ごしください。
お体を大切にして、お怪我をされないようにしてください
感謝しています🎵
