Yosemite - Simply Beautiful
Yosemite California, even with all of the tourists it is still a unique and beautiful national park. From it's snowcap to its multitudes of lakes, streams and creeks, the hype lives up to it's name. Our little weekend get away was perfect, sitting just over 8,000 feet above sea level the cool crisp air greeted us at every unobstructed turn on the mountainous road. Being literally so close to the edge that a 1000 foot drop into the many different valleys is enough to send your senses and mind into a panic. On one hand the view is simply amazing and on the other sheer terror at least for me. My mind creating most of the chaos and un-nerving feeling that the slightest turn of the wheel, oncoming traffic or even a blowout would send us off the side of the road. Yet, with each turn out or stop that we made, we held hands walking into the unknown exploring the giant redwood trees squirrels dancing and running aloof. The beauty touches your soul and at that moment we felt renewed and energized. I took my young brides' chin in my hand, kissed her and devoted my life to making her happy.

You're waxing quite poetic these days.
I'd love to visit Yosemite. I've been to Sequoia and King's Canyon Parks in California, and can attest to their spectacular beauties. Here on the East Coast, we enjoy our mountains- Appalachians and Smokies. But, we have little idea how high and breathtaking can be a mountain vista, like you describe. I look forward to the pictures.

It is and it was. The cabin that we stayed in was just as nice as it was cozy.

Being poetic is easy when you are surrounded by a beautiful and stunningly witty woman.

And, I would dare to say, this amazing woman ventures to read your blog, and you are aiming for her to read such words of admiration. I understand. You can delete this comment if it helps.

last june when my bestest friend's father died (the best father figure i ever had) she scattered his ashes over Yosemite from a plane. They had gone there many times before and once he had seen a plane flying overhead and told shelly that he thought that would be the way to see yosemite. from what they told me it's a very beautiful place. i dream that one day i'll be able to go there and see for myself.
