Back from some travels...

So just got back from a few days in the Sierras- this time I took some photos with my N70 (as opposed to my D70) so we'll have to wait a few days before I can get the film developed... I'm trying to get back to my roots as a photographer, especially motivated now that I am going to have a space to set up a darkroom- something I've always wanted to have in my own home...


The camp was worth all the stress over leaving late and bickering and emotional-ness after all: it was cool, not too hot, not windy, no bugs, not too many screaming families, and enough firewood and marshmallows to last us... The lake was sparkly and blue, crisp clean water felt so refreshing and invigorating! At first we saw nothing but bad signs: "no dogs allowed" "pets STRONGLY DISCOURAGED" "no dogs on beach" and were a little perturbed at that, but we walked along the opposite shore and found all kinds of dogs running loose and swimming, chasing sticks and playing up a storm. All was well, we tried to get Sandy over her fear of swimming, Jefe picked her up and carried her out to a rock, she would have stayed there forever had he not picked her up and put her in fully swimming... poor girl!


These pics were sent to us from the pooch walker, she looks like she's having such a good time... wouldn't it be nice
