Retreat

I am feeling the effects of my recent trip to Yosemite with The Boys. I feel rested, calm, as if a salve has been placed on my soul. It was only three days away but perhaps the thin, clear air and the cold water did it.

  2. Funny, it comes across the screen the coolness of the water, the joy of the play, the serenity of the sky. There is warmth in all of the photos, as if you managed to captured the restful soul that drank every drop of peaceful serenity there.

    Thank you, honestly. For a moment time and space were gone and I felt the cool water in my feet and the clean air filling my soul.

  4. beautiful pictures Elizabeth. I'm so glad the retreat was true respite! Hang onto that feeling...even if you have to occasionally dip your toes into ice cold water --preferably while staring up at a clear blue sky -- to re-conjure the peace you found there.

  7. What glorious photos of you and Henry and Oliver! How fantastic that you were there! I love the Sierra mountains. Haven't been to Yosemite in a long time but spent a week at family camp with Dora in King's Canyon area.

    Do you see these comments?
