Just recently, many of Yosemite’s iconic names were restored, to places like the Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village and more. I read one article that said the locals are crying over having the names restored. They should be crying because these Iconic names were being held ransom; by a previous contractor that Trademarked them, while they were here in the park. The media doesn’t put it that way, but that’s is actually what happened. They wanted 12 million dollars to release the names they Trademarked... National Parks Service allowed this to happen, you, me and the ones crying are paying for it. I don’t need to go on about how it was done. You can research and find the truth yourself. It’s another example of the corruption and Good-Ol-Boy system, still in place, in National Parks Service.
Here in Yosemite National Park; our Superintendents tend to hide behind their staff. This happens when we address the many unsafe practices by the contractors that get paid for services, many fraudulent. Witnessing unsafe electrical equipment and water combined, exposing this to children and guest daily. That one’s just to push my buttons daily. There are many senior employees that have resigned lately over safety violations and the lack of anyone caring. Unless you have a battalion of people demanding these safety violation be addressed and corrected; you wont get pass the Superintendent’s staff, if you’re me, you don’t get in the building. Federal electrical and safety codes don’t apply here ether. Contractor’s profits come before the safety of our guest and the preservation of Yosemite National Park; is that Clear Enough....
$12 million dollars could replace and repair a lot of water fill stations. Then maybe our guest aren't stuck paying $2 a bottle.

Well, I've only had the chance to shoot Picture Lake once so far, but I am itchin' to get back up there sometime soon.
Anyway, this is from September. I revisited it today, because I was pretty unhappy with almost all of my shots that day because of the horrific lens flare I was getting from the circular polarizer I was using. I should have been more careful and/or used a lens hood.
I suppose this is a lesson learned. Anyway, I went through the 60 or so shots I took up there that day, and found this series that was lacking the annoying flare!
The real reason I brought this one back to life is because I had intended to put one of the Shuksan images in the "gallery" I set up today at Boxley's in North Bend, but after printing and framing the 20x30, I was too disgusted with the flare to display it, so I put it back in the car and brought it back home with me...
I do like this one, because if you look closely you can see a dragon fly =)

I went out to take this image with my Fuji X-S10 and learnt a valuable lesson. I forgot to disable IBIS so the image was quite blurry and didn't turn out expected. The lighting was amazing though so I couldn't help but share it anyway!

Lesson ONE
Don't try too hard, brush your hair, dab a spot of perfume here and there!
Then fall asleep and dream of the girl you are :-)
Happy New Year guys! I wish all the best. May this one be the best one ever, and not a crash like 87 years ago.
Do not hesitate to take a look at my Facebook page.
Such a patient puppy. The girls are constantly messing with him.
This morning they were trying to make him sit and watch Calilou.
SOHN - Lessons
Of lessons learned, of lessons learned
Of bridges burned, of bridges burned
This time I'll do things differently
This time I'd like to need you less
I'm struggling, I'm struggling
I've given in, I've given in
This time I'll keep an overview
This time I'll keep away from you

I learnt a valuable lesson the other day when I did the photoshoo
Off all the girls and women only one was what we would call pretty. a young Japanese girl who was painfully shy.
One a Russian girl had a great smile but you wouldn't have looked at her twice in the street. an older lady of 50 years who was big but had gorgeous eyes and two average girls.
I watched as each was transformed into a beautiful woman with nothing more than a few flowers in their hair and crown atop their heads, They really did look different and they came alive. The Russian girl looked by far the prettiest.
The lesson I learnt is simple and that is we are all Beautiful and pretty it just takes a special someone to discover our beauty,
In this photo I am just the girl next door in some of my others I become a princess.
And that leads me to my next photo and short story.
