Yosemite etimesoY

 Reflecting near Tioga Pass, Yosemite NP, this past weekend.

It's a pretty nice place.

Here's to finding a beautiful, natural place near you,

and getting into it.

And, although the NPS is running a

Find Your Park campaign to encourage & celebrate such things,

and I am a huge fan of the NPS,
it doesn't have to be a national park.

Whether you're at some famously stunning natural landscape,

or peering at the bugs that flew to your porch light,

nature can always enrich your life.

Ours is a complex and wonderful planet.

And it's all right out there...

2 fer 1 photo quiz. And, love. =)

Reflection is the Day 20 assignment…

PHOTO QUIZ: Can you guess where I've been?

Actually, if you'll forgive me, I'll also use this photo for today's assignment,

"M is for…"

And, yes, people, that is a hint.

M applies to the above photo in two ways:

1. The generic term for the sort of place it is

2. the architect of this particular m~. 

So, got any guesses??

If so, please fling them into the comments,

AND, per usual,

PLEASE don't be shy about

WILD, 100% uninformed guesses.

They are all delightful. =)

So, yesterday was Day 21, but I didn't know the theme.

I just wandered around the above place in my usual way, 

and took this photograph:

Turns out the theme yesterday was Love. =) Done! 

To be 100% honest, I had several additional photos for "M is for…"

that I really like,  but my new camera is SO new to me,

it's doing some frankly unattractive things when I shrink some of the photos,

and I don't want to fling wonky, pixel-splattery images at you.

I care too much.

=)

But, just to make up for it,

here's another reflection photo

if you won't think the double duty photo is kosher.

p.s. In case you were wondering, YES, I had a WONDERFUL day, yesterday. =)
