During our two day visit to Yosemite I took about 100 photos.  One could stop every few feet to capture great views, and surely several photo ops were missed. Presented here is just a small sample.

Popup LinkGiant Sequoia at the parking lot dwarfs nearby cars

 Popup LinkMost old Sequoias have "burn scars."  The trees are very hardy and during their long lifetime manage to survive forest fires

Popup LinkThis tree fell in 1927.  The trees do not rot and and are practically impervious to insects  & varmits

Popup LinkThe famous tunnel tree.  My wife, "The General," in yellow

Popup LinkLong distance view of Bridalvail Falls, taken from exit of mile long tunnel when entering Yosemite Valley

Popup LinkEl Capitan dominiates the Yosemite Valley skyline

Popup LinkUpper Yosemite Falls was one of my favorite views in the valley

Popup LinkEl Capitan again, viewed across the Merced River which runs through valley along main road

Popup LinkUpper Yosemite Falls again, near east end of Yosemite Valley.  Famous Ahwahnee Lodge to right of falls on valley floor

Popup LinkThe photographer, that would be me, dubbed by one of my friends as "Yosemite Sam"

    Great shots,colbb! Loved them all great shot of "Yosemite Sam"! We went there in 85 while I was out to Cupertino to attend a school for 6 weeks. Spring thaw and it was flooded but still awesome nonetheless. Hope I get a chance to go again before I die!
