Exploring Yosemite in the Fall was truly a magical journey.
Where's Waldo???
Yosemite in autumn accentuates Earth's natural attributes.
Discovering the giant trees or "Sequoias" at Yosemite's Mariposa Grove was a true delight! Sequoias are reportedly "the world's largest living thing", standing well over 200 ft high and its trunk easily measuring 20 ft in diameter. Here I am standing beside these woodsy giants.
Waterfalls are well acquainted at Yosemite National Park. Its cascading waters are fed by melted snow caps that run from elevation higher than 13,000 ft. Here is a pic of the double falls known as "Yosemite Falls".
Tree rings age these Sequoia trees well over 900 years old! See how these mammoth Methuselahs vertically contrast with this lone hiker.
Peeking through the eyes of an amateur photographer.
See how this Sequoia trunk compares with its "normal-sized" brethern.
The fog begins its descent again, leaving a hushed stillness...
...and lifts again to reveal a winding road that follows a spell-binding landscape.
Below is "Bridalveil Falls", a favorite amongst Yosemite's visitors.
Still waters run deep and mirrors the reflection of Yosemite's beauty.
Yosemite is a lure for the hard-core climber.
Keep in mind that every journey begins and ends through a portal, albeit literally or figuratively.... even in Yosemite.
