A Moment of Good Luck

One of the most difficult things to do in photography is to take a picture of 2 or more people where everyone is looking at the camera and no one is blinking, or looking awkward. So when I happen to get lucky and accomplish this feat, on the very first try, I start feeling very accomplished.

Bear Trap Fork Trail to Lake Desolation

Amelia and I made our way up the mountain via the underused Bear Trap Fork trail. We went all the way over the top and back down the other side to Lake Desolation.
