Life is the adventure

We are willing participants, with the full understanding that we can jump in with both feet, endure a sore muscle and a little sweat in order to find the nuggets of beauty and the treasure of the ultimate vista. Just when we think, Yes! That's it! there's a new one.

Of water

What is it about clear, cool water that fascinates us so? We are drawn to the crashing sounds through the woods, not quite knowing what we'll see. Higher, higher up the trail...following the sound, following our heartbeat, following the mist.
The hike up to Vernal Falls...up the Mist Trail, as it's so aptly named, was breathtaking. The view back down the falls was even more so.















Then there are the creeks, strewn with colorful rocks, many worn smooth by the turbulence over time.





So, what is it about this stuff? Stirs our souls and soothes our soles.

  1. Glad you visited Yosemite. Except for the crowds, it's my favorite place. And Monuments! (Is that the picture at the top?) Fantastic. -BL
