Reaching for the sky.

Your moment of zen for today. Cold zen, but zen nonetheless.

Last August some of my friends and I did Clouds Rest in Yosemite.
A fairly easy, but long hike.
The views are stunning...







The Mist Trail at the end is really misty thanks to Vernal Falls...

Today's exotic "wildlife" sighting on the trail!

I've fallen way behind posting hikes here.
So here goes.

Here's some shots of a small hike my wife and I did last July at Hetch Hetchy Lake just north of Yosemite Valley.
We just got on the tail end of a massive snow melt. So there was lots of water flowing. They were releasing water from every orifice of the dam as possible.




The trail to Wapama Falls...



They had the bridge closed at the falls because the water was roaring over it. And somebody got washed off of it the week and was killed before we got there...



I hopped over the barriers to get a shot up the falls...



The ground was shaking.

That’s so cool. 

I was hoping it wasnt those weird insect insect things that look like hair.

Possibly red fox. I saw a den back in the spring with at least three kits.

I composed a solstice haiku while we were walking, and I can’t remember it!
