The Beloved and I snuck away for a weekend away from responsibilities (read: children) a few weeks ago.

Because we didn’t need to accomodate little legs, we were free to try different hikes in Yosemite National Park. Here, we climbed to the top of Sentinel Dome and had a gorgeous view of Half Dome and the valley beyond it.

I’m dying to paint this scene I photographed on a walk to Mirror Lake. I’m not sure why. It might be the mysterious black spot in the rocks?

Overall, it was a wonderful weekend.
