Dogwood by the Merced River

We spent 5 days
in Yosemite Valley
last week.

The weather was
wonderful and
everything except
the name changes
to favorite places
was grand,

Time to work on
getting my images
into my Lightroom
Catalog.

Half Dome and Dogwood

Just returned from
most of the week
in Yosemite.

Stayed at Curry
Village with friends
from Illinois and
from Castro Valley.

Warm, beautiful
weather. Glacier
Road was open
for 2 days and we
drove home in
the rain.

 Roses Like Rain.

Quick walk in the garden
to check the roses while it
was sprinkling softly.
Amazing how rain makes
things so beautiful.

Pink Dogwood Painting

Much needed visit to a friend
who has a pink dogwood tree
in her yard.

Wonderful chat and
conversation.
So glad I took time
to go.

My attempt to make it
look like an oil painting.

Warm days make you look
