More Yosemite

Full moon in Yosemite

The thing is, I can't get enough of this richly stunning and dramatic and harshly cold place. Good thing because we're going to be making many more pilgrimages there. I am truly lucky to do what I do.

Interesting side note: at dinner one night I spotted Heidi and Wayne, and then plum forgot all about it. When I returned home I happened upon her blog and found a delightful post devoted to their vacation in Yosemite, which overlapped with ours perfectly. I love celeb sightings!

Favorite nook (the Mural Room, where one can enjoy after-dinner cocktails or early morning coffee, views, light banter, and a good book), under construction, at the Ahwahnee

Pretty fixture

Follow-up Note: Don't let these photos fool you. When not eating hearty meals or staring in stunned silence at the beautiful scenery, we were hard at work! Our assessments of almost 30 historic cabins kept us on our feet, mostly outdoors, for 8-10 hours a day. We just made sure to squeeze in time to stop & smell the roses :)

Photos were taken collectively by the three of us on the trip.
