Yosemite in Polaroid

I've been hoarding my little stash of Polaroid film for a year now, unwilling to use it up since I can't get any more! But what better time to use it than for our vacation to Yosemite National Park! A destination like that just seems to beg to be captured on Polaroid. I love the images I came away with, and just wish I had taken more, but a Polaroid is not the easiest camera to haul around the park, on hikes and taking the shuttle bus!

Something about our National Parks gives off that vintage, 70s feel, and I think the Polaroid captures that perfectly!
