During my trip to Mammoth and Yosemite, I had the opportunity to go to Devils Postpile and hike around the area. It had been a while since I had visited that area, so it was nice to see it again. When I was really young (about 13 years old), my mother, sister, and I hiked […]

Sorry it took me two weeks to update my blog, but my trip to the Sierras was so great and I had very little time to work on the computer. I had an amazing time last week in Mammoth and Yosemite! It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect! There are a number of […]

It’s been a busy weekend! It’s a holiday (Memorial Day) this weekend, so I’ve been relaxing and finishing up my schedule of things I want to do on my trip to the Sierras. I had a little time tonight to catch the sunset at the beach, so I tried a panorama photo with my iPad. […]

It was a busy Sunday for me this weekend. I went to the Annenberg and Getty Center to see photography exhibits. First stop was at the Annenberg Space for Photography and the exhibit “Sink or Swim: Designing for a Sea of Change.” The photographs in this exhibit show how coastal communities around the world are […]
