Back from the Sierra

I’m back from about 8 days in the Sierra… and slowly working to catch up on email, blog posts, and the rest of the stuff that has gone on the in the world while I was away – along with starting work on the hundreds of photographs I brought back. A few have started to make their way to the web – at my photography web site and gallery with more to come soon.

A quick overview of the trip: On Saturday 7/21 I drove to Yosemite and actually managed to snag an unreserved camp site at Tuolumne on a Saturday! I photographed sunset from the top of Lembert Dome that evening. I had a lazy morning and midday in Tuolumne on Sunday before departing for Mammoth Lakes, where I met my brother and his family. The two of us got up before dawn on Monday to photograph sunrise at Mono Lake, after which we returned to Mammoth to rejoin his family for breakfast and a midday start to a 6-day pack trip into the Lake Ediza and Thousand Island Lake area. I came out yesterday and drove home last night.
