6.14 Just returned from camping at Yosemite National Park

Looking out at a 22 hour hike we were thinking of doing. It starts at the valley, up along two waterfalls, around that smaller rock mass and towards the Half Dome, seen on the left.

I can hear the excited and worried chatter of some Japanese onlookers who couldn't stand to watch and, at the same time, couldn't help but stare at my friends so casually crawl out to the edge. It's a straight drop down into the valley, thousands of feet. The view must have been worth it.

This walk up was so worth this shot. You might be able to see the steep walkway on the left. The mist coming off the fall really helped offset the summer heat.

Wish I had a recording of this mountain squirrel. It was hissing at this snake nearby as we were passing. The sound was more of a chirp and every time the squirrel made a loud chirp, its bushy tail ticked from side to side, like a minute hand on a clock! We figured the squirrel's babies must be close and threatened.[photocred: Jaclyn]

Sorry Jaclyn, for almost sending your sunglasses down the waterfall!![photocred: Jaclyn]

See how clear this water is??? Thanks to Terry for this candid! We swam, laughed and swung on rope swings.
