    Yosemite day trip

    I just thought I'd share some of my photos up in Yoemite. We always see the east cost pictures. Here is some on the West.

    I'm not sure what else to say besides 'Amazing'.

    Those are awesome, I hope to go there sometime in my life.

    Now next you have to go a little south to catch the Sequoia's and set up some jaw dropping pictures of those giants. Take 100 foot straps with you to set up a hang though.

    Stunning pics. My daughter and son-in-law are probably there as I type.

    By the way, here's a link for your whole album. Easier to navigate.

    Truly spectacular photos.

    I would love to know the date of the trip and any other details.

    And tell me what kind of camera you used - I'm looking to buy a new one.

    My wife and daughter never been to Yosemite. So We Just went last Saturday for the day. It's a 2 hour drive for us and got up their about 7 am. This is when the light is just right in the valley. I never thought my wife would ever see what I see when I am in the mountains. All I can say this valley swallows you up. Hart, mind and soul. Their is no place like it, and pictures can't do justice for this mighty cathedral.
    Will do the giant redwoods soon. This is the first time I'v loaded pictures so I am still on a learning curve. We used a Canon power shot SD
    1100 camera.
