My engineer is visiting again and this time we're exploring Yosemite! It's been quite chilly here and we are very grateful that we opted for the heated tent cabin.
We haven't seen any bears, although we have seen lots of marmots (they might just have been very fat squirrels), a family of unidentified ungulates (I'm going to pretend that they were moose), and what might have been a beaver (or a shadow).
Despite some snow on the ground in places, the falls are still running beautifully.
The engineer was willing to do a little more scary climbing on slippery rocks than me, so I hung back to photograph his success.
Mirror Lake was very low (although still reflecting) after a dry summer, although the stream fed by the lake was rushing!
The cables were down on Half Dome, so we admired it from a distance. And some of us (who shall remain nameless) were very thankful.
The park is such a gorgeous, peaceful place any time of the year. I had only ever seen it under a foot of snow before, so I really enjoyed getting to see more of the details.
This is somewhere everyone should go at least once in their lives. It's good for your soul.
