Sequioa National Park

I started to write about our trip to the Sequoia National Park, but realized that it would be much easier to share the experience in a photo diary. So, here we go...

Friday
4:00 pm : Leave LA
11:00pm : Arrive at Sequoia National Park, realized that the rain was pouring down, turned around and found a lodge. *It was an old Holiday Inn*

Saturday
8:00am : Wake up, shower, eat
10:30am : Arrive at the camp site. Totally surprised to see snow on the ground.
11:00am : Took the shuttle to the General Sherman, Meadow, Tharp's Log
12:00pm : Hail, rain, etc
4:00 pm : Reunited with our friends!
COYOTE SIGHTING!
4:30 pm : Dinner (Korean BBQ, Cobbler, alcohol)
12:00am : Bedtime!

Korean BBQ time! This was when we saw a coyote about 10 feet away STARING AT US. I guess it's not the smartest thing to cook meat in the wild.

Sunday
9:00am : Wake up
9:15am : Breakfast (Banana/Jelly Bean/Blueberry/Peanut Butter Pancakes)
10:30am: Pack up
BEAR SIGHTING!
11:00am: Hike up Moro Rock
1:00pm : Crystal Cove
DEER SIGHTING!

Images from our hike up Moro Rock

This was a pretty scary sight

Me and Suk's signature pose *WOW* at the top of Moro Rock

The whole gang, thanks to our handy dandy wide angle lens!

Images from the inside of the cave. Pretty, huh?

Always a kid..I was scared the park rangers were going to yell at him.

I'm so glad we went and didn't back out! Thanks for inviting us!

Toothless and Proud

I don't quite remember when I first lost my tooth, or what I did with it. All I know is that I was probably very excited and proud, just like Little B.

Check him out

Ha! I love how Little B is sticking his tongue out of the hole.

Newborn Session

Sometimes I sit and wonder how lucky I am to be able to photograph the cutest, sweetest kids. Today was definitely one such day. I photographed a 9-day old newborn and let me tell you, it was such a treat! Perhaps it's because I don't have a baby of my own, but I find that newborns are just so amazing! I could probably stare at babies all day long.

Meet Little S. Oh, and I couldn't decide if I like the color or the b&w better, so you get to see both!
