When Rachel and I first got married, we knew that life was going to get really busy.  So we resolved to spend one night a week as a date night, and one weekend a month away somewhere.  It’s been a huge advantage to both of us as individuals, and as a couple.

A few months ago, we went camping at Lake Piru for our weekend away.  It was a great time to go, and we enjoyed the time reading, hiking, boating, and taking photos.  Here are some of the ones that stood out…

We had some fun apprehending the sun at sunrise. It wasn’t the big red ball of fire we had hoped for, which is another argument for why sunset is better than sunrise.

We also had some fun with long exposures at night…

I got so dizzy doing this one.

I’m in the habit of writing a personal note of thanks to my photo subjects at the end of each of my blog posts. In this case, I’d like to say thank you to my wife, for being so eager to join me on any adventure, no matter how big or small, and making it exponentially better just by your presence.
