for someone who has lived her entire life in the desert, a lot California - more specifically, Grass Valley - feels like a different country. last weekend our friends introduced us to this gorgeous, lush, pine-filled area of the Sierra and the wild flowers were in bloom.

Your photos are beautiful! I especially love Ash climbing (with great gusto) up the stairs.
Beautiful. It makes me excited to go hiking!
Nice! All I can say is that I want a new camera. Your pics. are great.
so pretty! I love the purple Chinese pods photo.
Love it! You guys look like you're having so much fun. :)
First off, you are a superb photographer, hands down. I feel like I'm saying that your photos are wonderful every post. And it's true. Second off, your kids are the cutest, especially on that sand bar. Tom is loving it and Ash is a great tree squirrel. You and English are looking dashing yourselves. What a nice place you live, where you can take trips like this.
Fun. You guys are having some awesome adventures. I mean, wiggling lizard tail at 1? Life doesn't get much better than that I think.
Looks like a cool place! Your children are so cute.
Beautiful pictures Kel! Looks like fun times!
