Hi Folks

The water was sparkly clear and REALLY cold, even in 90F temperature

Trees growing through the ROCKS!!! the power of nature

The Lower falls

The upper falls

I did a intoxicating 6+ hour hike/climbing to reach the middle of one of the mountains (to reach the top, it would take another 6 hours. I was dead tired and by the time I got up it would be nightfall).

That mountain is all rock, and its called the "half dome"

spotted some wilderness. Always a good sign

Ironically Apple is naming the latest version of OS X after Yosemite.

By the way, what kind of camera did you use to capture these shots?

Unless you were using a large zoom lens, it looks like you got very close to that fawn...

I used a normal Samsung point and shoot digital camera, I was indeed very close the to fawn (maybe 15 meters?). At one point I was so close to it that i thought it would hunt me down.

Ah, probably not more than a 3-4x zoom then. Impressive shot!

All that hiking had to made you tired and hungry. What food did you bring with you to make the hike less bearable? I like the pic after the one with the half dome pic. That pic just has a view of the parking lot and a pool. Were there any other animals that you ran into besides the dear during your hike?
