Groveland, CA February 2024

Hello internet ! These photos and this post is long overdue – from a trip/retreat back in February with my husband’s (then fiancé still) church group. We rented a big Airbnb and went up to Groveland, CA for a short retreat. Here are the photos I took:

So, this wasn’t the house we stayed at, ours is to the left of it (on the right, in the photo). However, we also had this walkway down to this small lake:

What the dock area looked like:

More photos of the dock area + Jacob:

Some of the wildlife right behind the house. This was the first time I ever had the feeling of “I feel like I shouldn’t be seeing you” when looking eye-to-eye with deer. Slowly I have been learning and appreciating the divinity and sacredness in wild animals:

Some other scenery near the house/lake area:

There was a day where we also walked around the “downtown” area of Groveland:

And that’s all I have ! Thanks for reading through this long overdue post

Welcome to my blog, where I share many of my photos but also share tidbits about life, travels, deep topics, and reflections. I hope to share about the worthiness and goodness of the human experience through all that is difficult and beautiful.
