Yosemite...


 
 
Hi there!
 
Hope you are having a great weekend!  I just thought I'd pop in and share a few pics from our Yosemite vacation.  True peace and beauty surrounds this majestic area of our country in California...amazing!  It is such a blessing!  We very much enjoyed our trip there!
 



We had a wonderful surprise before we got off the shuttle and the driver said..."Look...there's a reindeer...hehehe!"  He's such a cutie, too!:-)



Walking amongst these trees was so calming and peaceful.  It is not autumn yet, but I agree with John Muir's words..."Nature's peace will flow into you.  While cares will drop off like autumn leaves."


This bird is called the Sterling Jay.  Isn't it a gorgeous blue?  We had to try many times before we got a great pic of this lovely bird.  But, it was so worth it!


It was a long way to hike up to Vernal Falls.  My husband made it all the up to the top.  But, before he reached the highest point, he took this fabulous pic of the falls.  I stayed back by the bridge to rest...hehehe.


I hope you enjoyed our pics of Yosemite.  We also made it to
Napa Valley and San Francisco, but I won't give you pic overload...lol!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
Maria

  8. OMGoodness, what a small world it is!! We were just in Yosemite this past week, too. We didn't make it up to Vernal Falls, though. Looks like there was more water there than the other falls that we did see. Even still, what a gorgeous place. TFS!
