Lady Kate's Journal 2010

I wish to offer my gratitude to several of the long-standing members of the Daily Photo Community for inadvertently inspiring me to also continue with this project and participate here in this awesome community of multi-talented, inspirational creative artists! My purpose is to continue on with this project as a form of personal journal. Over the last half year or so, (it's now early August, 2010), I've had need to apply more focus in other areas of my life, which is still the case. I won't be posting on a daily basis; my intent is to journal more of the major events, adventures, people and creativities as they perk my life! This gallery begins by going backwards for a while in an attempt to catch up for 2010. Previous to the first image in this gallery, I posted only several 2010 images in my original Daily Photo gallery--which should have been seperated into two different galleries: 2008 and 2009. As it is, there are those two years presented therein. The last entry can be found HERE in "My Task At Hand".

 Today, I was adding to my Three Rivers, California gallery.
This was was taken June 4, '09; Ella and I sayed two nights in Three Rivers before we headed up into Sequoia National Park.
This is the Rio Sierra Riverhouse; we loved this place, and vowed to return quite often!

At long last, today I created a gallery for Yosemite!!  This gallery will probably NEVER be complete....
I LOVE YOSEMITE!!

One of my recent visits to Y.V. happened to be during a full moon.  I did two 'practice sessions' on consecutive nights; layering with warm clothes before heading out!  On the first night, I managed to break my tripod :(
This shot was taken on the second night, using a big knit scarf to support the camera. And with that, I was certainly limited as to where I could set the camera up; was scouting for posts, rocks, stumps, etc.
My attention was on the full moon rising to the left of half Dome; also hoping to get some water reflection.
I was somewhat pleased with the results---especially since I had never done any night photography previous to this.

Being most exceptional was in turning around, to see this:  looking towards the southern part of the Valley, with the moon behind me!  WOW!

The icing on the cake was that during the several hours I spent out there, I had all of Yosemite Valley completely to myself!  --except for an occasional car in the distance--

An incredibly sensational and memorable experience!
