My sister and nephew came to stay with us for a couple of weeks. San Francisco was definitely on the list but I also took them to Yosemite National Park as I think national parks are the main attraction of the USA.
Snow is a very rare thing in Taiwan and we were lucky that there was still some snow left in Yosemite even though the weather was nice and warm. I was busy playing with Han and didn't think to pull out my sketch kit. I managed to do one sketch at lunch. (Han loves food and he can sit for at least 30 minutes at meal time!) To save time, I used waterbrushes but the result wasn't that satisfying.
The next morning I got up early, brought a cup of coffee with me and sat outside of the cabin where we stayed for the night. I thought about sketching our cabin but the neighbor's house attracted me more with the mountains as its background.
A lady on the shuttle bus told me that we came to Yosemite at the right time as the winter rain and storm had brought lots of water to the valley. Last year Mirror lake was complete dry but now it's full. Perhaps James and I can plan another trip back for sketching...
