Day 256 - Project365

Today, out of nowhere Joyce and I decided to head to Yosemite National Park after visiting my Brother Cory. We will not be staying nearly long enough to see anything but figure 24 solid hours with 6 of them sleeping should give me a sneak preview of what I could see with a solid week. So with the sudden addition to our packing list we were left with even less time to snap tonights picture. I figured I wouldn't go too far tonight and use what we had within 100 yards of the house. The old wood fence out front served as the perfect backdrop. I quickly setup two lights while Joyce in cow girl attire sat on the fence. It really was that easy.

Now most of you will see a beautiful sunset while I see a beautiful composition. The sun was just setting when I went out but wasn't in the right position to get the fence and the sky so I opted to just sandwich the two together in post. Ok, so it may look a bit "fake" but hell… I've seen worse on Major Magazine covers!

I did manage to get bit by my 2nd and 3rd mosquito today. Which is amazing considering I was in a short sleeve shirt and shorts at night in the grass!

I will now pack, prepare, eat a PayDay and some Reeses mini peanut butter cups, watch Anchorman and get some sleep! I'm excited for the next few days. I've not seen my brother in nearly a year and I've also wanted to see Yosemite for years now.

My loaner Vagabond arrived today and I'm now 30lbs heavier with battery power. I will only be bringing two Vagabonds with me as I'm not sure the Compact car were renting could handle 3 tons of batteries!

Next time I write will be from the Mojave Desert!
