Yosemite is awesome!

Our day in Yosemite National Park was wonderful. The sky was blue, it was mild and there was no wind at all. Best of all there weren't many people about. The few photos we've put in do not do the park justice, but they do give a hint of the grandeur of the place.




After we left Jeanne in Marin County we went through built-up areas and miles and miles of almond trees before we arrived in the outskirts of the Yosemite National Park.




Here is Carolyn on our balcony overlooking the 'wild and scenic' Merced River.
We stayed in a hotel just outside the Park in case there was a problem with snow, but California is having an unusually warm winter it seems. No snow to be seen, and the warnings of ice on the roads were unnecessary!








This is the lower half of Yosemite Falls, the highest in North America and the fifth highest in the world. Yosemite is full of superlatives and deservedly so! David climbed up far enough to put a hand in the pool at the bottom and feel the spray.




This is El Capitan, 3,500 feet of him. The air was so clear that every detail was visible from over a third of a mile away.




This is another view. It was starting to get chilly as evening drew on.
