I am curious, and trying to be patient. 😉

👀

This justifies the Internet. ❤️

Kudos to the pilot for being able to land on the freeway (or any open area). While not ideal for traffic, it could have been worse.

They went from Santas to Pilgrims. 🫤

Yikes. The last two sentences were a relief.

Agreed. 🫤

The closest I've seen is NG troops just standing around letting people be people.

I get that. 💔

I really liked Eastern Oregon. I think most places I went to were BLM, not State Parks though. (Crack in the Ground and Christmas Valley Sand Dunes (which are actually mostly ash from the images innards of Mt Mazama) were so interesting

I tuned in just in time. 💙

He looks a bit embarrassed by the state of his feathers.

It does look comfy, if I was a dryad.

Yours is so polite though! I have gray squirrels and chickarees. Sooo Loud.

Hehe. I love when they throw their whole bodies into the chirping. 😆

Is this the new math?

Slack logo - 4 shapes that look like minimalist ducks arranged in a circle so it looks like they are sniffing their neighbor's rear end.

Someone just pointed out that Slack's logo is 4 ducks sniffing each other's rears. I like it even more now. 🤣

Sooooo not jealous. 😏

What a beautiful place. I love when homes and other buildings really belong like that.

Whoohoo! Yay Kyanite!

Haha. His head looks upside down.

I still remember following a truck hauling a large dino (T-Rex-like) artificial skeleton from Oakdale to Turlock.

Are you going to burn your hands again? 😆

Profile view of Half Dome, with Clouds Rest off the back shoulder.

Last, but certainly not least, a profile of Half Dome. This is from Washburn Point, one of my favorite views. It's often quiet because everyone thinks they need to go to Glacier Point further down the road. (a different kind of amazing).

I hope you enjoyed my little trip around the Valley.

A black oak on a early fall afternoon framed by Cathedral Rocks.

In the fall, the Merced River is nearly still, which makes for great reflections like these branches and alder trees.

Path through the woods covered in yellow alder and cottonwood leaves.

Are you tired of Yosemite photos yet? I have a few more fall favorites. My favorite tip about visiting Yosemite - if you're able, go for a walk. Many of the trails are paved and safe for wheelchairs too. Just sit and enjoy the views big and small.

Looking west down the Merced River below Yosemite Valley. Silhouettes of burned pines look down on the silvery river as sun rays break through dark dark clouds. Endless layers of ridges lead west.

Two tourists enjoy the view of Half Dome from Washburn Point.

Soft light from clouds and snow on a rocky cliff. A few pine trees hang on where they can.

Half Dome appears to be spewing clouds - in reality this one cloud looked to be stuck in some sort of convection current and kept swirling in front of it.

The light is almost always changing, especially when clouds show up.
