To accompany Sentinel Dome about a mile away, Sentinel Rock prominently stands out for Yosemite visitors. A popular climbing spot with multiple routes. With its long history of stature, it is a feature and subject to many photographs over many years. It stands nearly vertical as a watchful presence. A fitting name for the rock-cliff formation along the Southern Rim of Yosemite.
No wilderness location compares to Yosemite. Its cathedral walls, its granite faces, and its towering heights surface a spirit of renewal and inspiration within you. Yosemite is an incredible place unsurpassed in character and beauty.
Today was a new day in Yosemite with the wonder and inspiration that goes with it. Always a new perspective and place to explore. Step after step and place by place we were out and about to experience the absolute and incredible beauty of this place.
Tomorrow is a new day and a day of renewal. A time redeemed because these days will one day be gone. As all the others that went before them, but only in these places of beauty. Today I smiled and laughed more than I ordinarily do. Not because of those I’m with, but because of what and Who is here.
So what did I do with this time given? And with the decisions about how I choose to think and believe. Mile by mile and one step at a time.
Tomorrow, a new day. A fresh start with anticipation about what’s next. Up at dawn, tomorrow we go higher in elevation.
Further lessons and practice today centered upon sharpening and retouching techniques. Not so much about the outcomes but largely about the controls, tools, panels, and dialog to better understand limits and best practices. To get more thoroughly familiar with Bridge, Photoshop, and Lightroom and their relationships with each other.
