Happy Mother's Day to ALL Mother's everywhere! Today seems like the perfect day to post this sweet mama sea lion and her baby. The extra special thing about this photo is I captured this sweet scene with my own mother standing next to me. She was visiting and I was showing her the sights of the Monterey Bay. PSA: This was captured from a pier and as far a distance as possible (because they were pretty close to a walkway anyway). We were careful to not disturb this tired mama and growing baby. Please always be respectful of sealife. #naturefirst #leavenotrace #mothersday #happymothersday #sealife #sealovers #sealion #sealionsofinstagram #sealions #montereycounty #MontereyBay #montereybayphotography #naturephotography #fiftyshades_of_nature#the_gallery_of_magic#tv_allnature #heart_imprint #beachesandnature#ig_sealovers#oceanminded_arts#OurOceanDaily#dramatic_seascapes#primebeachUSA#raw_beaches#followmebythesea #womensnaturepotd #womencapturemagic #the_mirror_of_our_souls #batpixs_nature#best_of_nature (at Monterey, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COqM7oUsQn9/?igshid=1sdsfiyeujubc

"This is the fairest picture on our planet, the most enchanting to look upon, the most satisfying to the eye and spirit. To see the sun sink down, drowned in his pink and purple and golden floods, and overwhelm Florence with tides of color that make all the sharp lines dim and faint and turn the solid city to a city of dreams, is a sight to stir the coldest nature, and make a sympathetic one drunk with ecstasy." - Mark Twain Last week I went out in search of flowers under a sunset. I was not disappointed. Bonus that the flowers were purple.💜 My favorite color.

"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it". -Wilferd Peterson El Capitan in the clouds I'm still trying to get caught up with my 365 photo project. I'm not going to give up but give myself grace when I don't post everyday, (or twice a day to make up for missed posts) I have a good excuse, I had a minor surgery today. I had skin cancerremoved from my eyelid. I have a good shiner the Dr gave me but Ill gladly take a black eye in place of skin cancer. The surgery was a success. I mention only to remind everyone to use sun protection when you are enjoying the outdoors! 74/365 #365photoproject #SheExplorers #National_Park_Photography #WomenWhoExplore #FindYourPark #HerDailyPlanet #USInterior #OurPlanetDaily #WildernessNation #DepthsOfEarth #NationalparkService #livtoexplore #exploretheoutdoors #themountainsarecalling #sheexplores #outdoortones #findyourpark lovely_earthshotz#tones_addiction#thedreamersplace#wildcalifornia #artistry_flair #amazing_fs #PhotographyEveryday#amazing_shots#landscapephotography#dreaming_landscape#womencapturemagic#signatureshots#ig_amazingnature#ig_captured (at Yosemite National Park, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM1Nji4MLjd/?igshid=1wkdvc0edhcqb

“I must return to the mountains-to Yosemite. I am told that the winter storms there will not be easily borne, but I am bewitched, enchanted, and tomorrow I must start for the great temple to listen to the winter songs and sermons preached and sung only there.” ― John Muir One moment the sky was white and snowing. The next the sky burst out in blue. It went back and forth from show to blue sky all day that day. When the sun would come out like this the snow would quickly start melting and falling off the trees and shrubs. I was frantically snapping to capture the fresh snow before it was gone. This is a 2 shot vertical pano. 73/365 #365photochallenge #1killershot #agameoftones #bestpicturesgallery #everything_imaginable #photooftheday #ig_myshots #moods_in_frame #perfextionpix #allbeautyaddiction #depthsofearth #jaw_dropping_shots #hey_ihadtosnapthat #amazing_shots #exploreobserveshare #landscape #landscapephotography #global_creatives #nature_obsession_landscapes #onceupon_the_earth #Rebel_Scapes #stellar_shots #dreaming_landscape #womencapturemagic #signatureshots #ig_nature_naturally #wwtty #ig_amazingnature #igvisual (at Yosemite National Park, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxLZd2sXEL/?igshid=tt4sllx4w86i

"Quiet Reflection"- Living where I live on the West Coast, I don't get to experience snow. So for me, snow is a beautiful novelty. For awhile I've been spell bound by photos of Yosemite in the snow and wanted to see it. After going to Yosemite and seeing the Fire Falls I was determined to see Yosemite covered in snow. While there was snow on the ground, there wasn't SNOW. I returned to Yosemite that same week when snow was forecast but it didn't happen. So on my 3rd trip in 3 weeks I finally got to see and photograph Yosemite with fresh snow. I got up early and entered the Valley in the morning. It was breathtaking. For the first hour I was mostly alone in the park with the exception of the snow plows. It was like a religious experience. I can't explain what it felt like but hopefully I can share that experience in my photos. 72/365 #365photochallenge #thedreamersplace #shot_flair #shotzdelight #lensbible #electic_shotz #mood_magic #moody_photograph #allthingsofbeauty_ #lensloves_nature #fineartzone #notasoulmagazine #midnightdreammag #alliseemag#lovely_earthshotz#tones_addiction#artistfound#amazing_shots #exploreobserveshare #landscape #landscapephotography #global_creatives #nature_obsession_landscapes #moodynaturelandscapes #onceupon_the_earth #Rebel_Scapes #stellar_shots #weownthelandscape #dreaming_landscape #womencapturemagic (at Yosemite National Park, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMwLyPHsz4j/?igshid=uifnfhfq1sfh

"This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." -John Muir 70/365 #365photoproject #lovely_earthshotz#tones_addiction#thedreamersplace#artistfound#wildcalifornia #lost_world_treasures #artistry_flair #amazing_fs #gottalove_a_ #NikonNoFilter #worldclass_photographers #PhotographyEveryday#amazing_shots#exploreobserveshare#landscapephotography#nature_obsession_landscapes#onceupon_the_earth#Rebel_Scapes#stellar_shots#weownthelandscape#dreaming_landscape#womencapturemagic#signatureshots#ig_nature_naturally#wwtty#ig_amazingnature#ig_captured (at Yosemite National Park, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMs8VjAswIh/?igshid=5c5pjv7sb9k7

"Courage to me means ploughing through that dull gray mist that comes down on life-not only overriding people and circumstances but overriding the bleakness of living. A sort of insistence on the value of life and the worth of transient things...My courage is faith-faith in the eternal resilience of me-that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity. And I feel that till it does, I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high, and my eyes wide." -F.

"Down through the middle of the Valley flows the crystal Merced, River of Mercy, peacefully quiet, reflecting lilies and trees and the onlooking rocks; things frail and fleeting and types of endurance meeting here and blending in countless forms, as if into this one mountain mansion Nature had gathered her choicest treasures, to draw her lovers into close and confiding communion with her." -John Muir I'm very behind on my 365project. I can't say I've failed. My goal was to take a photo, edit a photo or post a photo daily. I've been so busy out photographing Yosemite, I've fallen behind on my posting. So bear with me while I get caught up 68/365 #365photoproject #raw_community #raw_snap_lowangle1 #lovely_earthshotz#tones_addiction#thedreamersplace#artistfound#wildcalifornia #lost_world_treasures #artistry_flair #amazing_fs #gottalove_a_ #NikonNoFilter #worldclass_photographers #PhotographyEveryday#amazing_shots#exploreobserveshare#landscapephotography#nature_obsession_landscapes#onceupon_the_earth#Rebel_Scapes#stellar_shots#weownthelandscape#dreaming_landscape#womencapturemagic#signatureshots#ig_nature_naturally#wwtty#ig_amazingnature#ig_captured (at Yosemite National Park, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqvsJmMBZW/?igshid=2rgtwfpzepm3

“We are not in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.” - John Muir I have some catching up to do! I've missed 2 days posting for my 365 project because I've been out with my camera in Yosemite so much this week. I'm obsessed with Yosemite. I was there last weekend came home and turned around and went back. This was snapped at dusk on a gorgeous clear evening. 64/365 #365photoproject #yosemitevalley #yosemitenationalpark #california #sierramountains #splendid_outskirts#hubs_united#igworld_global#nikonusa#shot_flair#ig_northamerica#Landscape_Looters#thedreamersplace#naturalcalifornia#scape_captures#landscapephotohub#landscape_tribe#cultureofcreatives#raw_usa#excellent_universe#femaleshutterbugs#norcalpulse#viral0utdoors#WorldShares#womensnaturepotd #tamronusa (at Yosemite National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJCb5QsYzL/?igshid=1o9zlgs0l2snh

“I love the silent hour of night, for blissful dreams may then arise, Revealing to my charmed sight – What may not bless my waking eyes.” – Anne Brontë I'm about to fall asleep to the sound of the Merced River. I'm in Yosemite for a girls trip with my daughter and her friend and of course, for photos. I'm a homebody but there is nothing like a getaway for a reset and make you more grateful for the comfort of home. 63/365 #365photoproject #santacruz #thedreamersplace #artistfound #moods_in_frame #perfextionpix #picture_to_keep #shotzdelight #usaprimeshot #visualsoflife #jaw_dropping_shots #natureskyshotz #shotsofresh #santacruzcalifornia #visitsantacruz #Exploresantacruz #santacruzwaves #santacruznow #santacruzlife #cloudsofinstagram #instasky #instaclouds #cloudstagram #skylovers #sunset #cloudscapes #sky#sunsetchaser #love_all_sky #explore_skies (at Santa Cruz, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBmvjFMsDS/?igshid=1ix5imsrp7n1k

Thought I would share my favorite little lighthouse. After this week I may be interrupting my usual broadcast of Seascapes to bring you the beauty of Yosemite. I'm getting ready to make my 2nd trip to Yosemite in a week so expect to see more wonders than waves for a little while!
