Bev inside...

The Telescope Tree.


Morgan and I...

INSIDE a tree.


The telescope tree.

Here's a tree that was completely hollowed out by fire. You can walk inside, look up and see the sky - through the tree trunk.
Amazing!


Yosemite again.

Since we get free (senior pass) we went back to the park today.
We hiked 2.5 miles - uphill - to 6,600 feet altitude in the Mariposa grove of Sequoias. Here's a shot of Bev and Morgan (in backpack) at the museum near the summit.

Bridal veil falls.

Here's a shot of Bridal Veil Falls at Yosemite.
For future travelers to the park, the south entrance requires nerves of steel. It's 35 miles of swtchback mountain roads, no guardrails, no shoulders, just a white line on the pavement then Bam! 5000 feet straight down! But the views...wow!
They say life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. I certainly had a few of those moments today. One was the half mile hike to the foot of these falls. We were close enough to feel the spray.
Pictures cannot do this place justice. It must be felt.
