Forth of July Get Away

I am happy to say that I finally had a chance to take some pictures again!  It was just as calming, relaxing and fun as I remembered!!!  I have been so caught up in the daily walk of life that I for got to stop and "smell the roses."
When the chance came along, I couldn't pass it up.  My Aunt recently moved to Bishop, CA.  My cousin Lindsay and her dad, my uncle, were going to go up to visit for the holiday weekend.  When I heard that, I knew it would be a perfect opportunity to spend some time with my cousin...  I never get to see her and we always say we are going to get together.
I remembered that every time my Aunt and Uncle talked about Bishop, they would say how amazingly beautiful it was.  So, I decided to pack up my camera and equipment.  I am so glad that I did!
They were right!  It is absolutely amazing.  At first sight, it is just a dessert you pass through on the Mammoth.  But when they took me through only a few of the dirt roads that seem to sprout out from every which direction, I was able to see true raw beauty!  The way that nature intended for us to see the Earth.
I was able to see Indian carvings from ancient times when people first settled, lava from one of the largest eruptions in history, gold mines from original American settlers. 
All of these sights were so amazing that I shot about 12G of photos.  In addition to these shots, I was also able to take awesome firework shots because of the 4th of July.
I will be adding some of these photos little by little because there are so many and I am doing it between my daily duties...
Check out my website to see these photos as I add them.
There are different galleries organizing the photos into places or things.  The photos I have discussed here will be in the galleries labeled "Bishop," and "Night Shots"
