Yosemite


I had a great opportunity to see beautiful
Yosemite National Park this past week. After sitting in meetings inside Tenaya Lodge, and wondering what those great outdoors held for me, we were taken on a tour on Wednesday. Riding in a tour bus on windy roads into the park, we were able to get out and see some of the grandest sights I have seen of this great earth. From the granite mountains, great forests, giant Redwoods, and beautiful rivers, this park had so much to offer. I loved it. Sometimes I had to slap myself and say, "you are really here". I just had to share a few of my pictures with you. We were able to go close into Bridal Vail Falls which you can see on a couple of these shots. El Capitan is one of Yosemite's many granite monoliths. Rock climbers actually climb that thing! I can't believe it. It is too bad I didn't have my whole family there with me. It would have been wonderful. Maybe someday. I am just so grateful for all the beauty that is here right in our own backyards!

Pay it Forward

Thanks for the cute idea Nat!And Tara.....So, here's how this game works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift/treat from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!
