Mom and I love road trips! We are always trying to plan them when I have time to get away from the office and other responsibilities. For me its fun driving places and seeing new things and trying new foods and most of all having the time to be with my Mom and sharing my creative process as I do landscape and nature photography. My Mom has always been such a great force in my life! She has always supported me in my life choices even when she was not sure how I would survive. But thank God! and my amazing Mother I have made it 42 years so far.
Here are some photos from our Road Trip. This was extra special because Mom had never been to the Sequoia or Kings Canyon National Park so it was special for us to share this together.
The first day of our road trip we went into Sequoia National Park and came across a total of 3 bears. The first was about 6 to 8 months old I am guessing and was alone grubbing on a falling tree near the restrooms, the next two was a baby bear about 4 to 6 months old with his quite large mother, I am guessing she was about 250 pounds plus. The Baby was at the roadside and the mother was about 20 to 30 yards from him. A group of cars had stopped. So we stopped too, leaving Mom in the car and grabbing my camera to run after the baby and photograph him. Not before I located his mother and made sure not to be between them, I know as a Mom myself and I have heard many stories the last place you want to be is between a Mom and her baby.
The rest of the folks seemed to think it was okay to be so close to the baby with no worries about his Mama. Well I have seen enough movies to know better, I stayed away from the rest of the CRAZY people and place myself in a much safer position.
The last photo is of the windy road that you have to take to get into The Sequoia’s. I had to take a photo of it for my husband “Bear” and my oldest son Josh who love to drive fast on really windy roads. Mom and I just kept say how they would be having a great time on that road with Josh’s Subaru STI.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites from our road trip!
