Valentine’s day has always been extra special in my family as its also my loving and beautiful mom’s birthday! Hearts were always the center theme of our household decorations while growing up. On our family vacations we would always have a little contest to see how many heart shaped rocks we could find. My favorite rock searching adventures were on the rocky shores of Northern Michigan searching for a very tough to find heart shaped petoskey stone.
Last August, my wife and I made our first trip to Yosemite valley. We arrived just in time to catch the sunset from Tunnel View. After taking a bunch of wide angle photos of Yosemite valley, I decided to try the 70-200mm telephoto and try to capture the little cloud which suddenly formed over half dome. To my great surprise, I quickly noticed a HUGE natural heart shape carved into the granite walls of the valley. When we made it home, the first thing I said to my mom was “Yosemite was awesome but wait until you see the photo of the biggest heart rock ever!!”
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
