Kings Canyon, California

So every year we take a 3-4 day camping trip, and get to relax, hike, eat, and just enjoy the outdoors. This year we decided to go to Kings Canyon so Mai @ Bunch Studio could see the Sequoia's. We found a spot at Sheep Creek Campground and set up all of our tents and stuff. After, while everyone was relaxing, I walked around the campground looking for birds/wildlife. I did spot a few American Robins, and a woodpecker but my 200mm wasn't long enough to get a good shot. We did however have many Stellar Jay's around our site.

We ended up hiking for a majority of the time, and had a chance to see Moro Rock, Panoramic Point, Hume Lake, Mist Falls, and stop off at a few other scenic points.

As much as I enjoy NOT having people in my picture (unless for scale), we managed to take a few group pictures:

So this might be the last camping trip for a while, depending on any new additions to the family. Until next time.......if there will be one.
