A wooded view

Saturday started with a walk through Mariposa, CA with my faithful companion, Buddy. Mariposa Creek provides for a nice view due to the nature that surrounds it. This includes not only the foliage, but there were lots of cool birds to check out as well.

My photo of the day for day 44 of Project365 is of me as I paused on a bridge to enjoy the view of the creek.

Photos from Horsetail Falls at Yosemite

Since we had pretty good luck on Saturday, we decided to return to Horsetail Falls on Sunday. We got there about 3.5 hours early and picked our spot. Everything looked great until the sun started going down. There was a huge cloud bank which threatened to block the sun’s rays from hitting the falls, a very important ingredient to the equation. To be honest, I was ready to pack it in along with many others.

Luckily, Tanya wanted to stick it out. At the last minute the sun broke through and we got our shots.

After spending the day in Sequoia National Park we drove to Oakhurst to spend the evening. It was a really nice place to wake up to. I took Buddy out for his morning walk, then after bringing him back to the room, I went for another walk with my camera. After a small breakfast we headed up Highway 41 to Yosemite. I can not believe I had never been before.

The one thing I noticed was that the views looked almost fake because they were so beautiful. It was like a pull down backdrop for a family portrait or something. Paintings and photos that I thought had been exaggerated turned out to be as amazing as portrayed. If you ever have the opportunity, take a drive through it.
