Yosemite In The Autumn Sun

 

"There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias...our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their Children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred,"

 

 ~Theodore Roosevelt. 

 

 

Yosemite was gorgeous yesterday! It's early in autumn, so there wasn't a lot of color, but there were dots of gold everywhere! I am hoping to go back in a month, depending on the shutdown, so hopefully I will have more color to share at that time. There were no waterfalls, and very little movement in the streams, so some rain would be great, but who knows? It was a little early for that, but just look at Half Dome! It stuns be every single time I see it. Oh, also, I met a fox! I didn't have the chance to photograph him, because he was shy, but he came up to say hello, and the trotted off. I guess he didn't want any of my chicken salad or soup! Anyway, I was happy yesterday, everything was beautiful.

 

 Just see...

 

“All of these excursions are sure to be made memorable with joyful health-giving experiences; but perhaps none of them will be remembered with keener delight than the days spent in sauntering on the broad velvet lawns by the river, sharing the sky with the mountains and trees, gaining something of their strength and peace.”
