omigosh Igor, when I hoped someone would post winter shots... well, I had no idea... those photos are incredible! 
The trees - all of 'em - are beautiful, have an almost spiritual quality to some of them. But that Ice on the Merced has to be my hands down favorite
image - for the moment anyway. 
You and Diane have helped me make up my mind. Gonna get out of my snow suit and winter boots and head to Yosemite for my winter get-away. Thank you
both so very much.

Igor, I hate snow, but LOVED your photos. I liked that rock. I could see a face in it. They were just too beautiful.

Diane - Lundy Lake... isn't that just the most gorgeous drive and place to be for autumn color? And I love your picture of the area around Convict
Lake... we used to hike around there, making up stories about lurking bad guys along the way.
And this news about the High Sierra Theater and Bogart's car - very Baja interesting. Thanks you much for telling us that.
A merry Christmas to you, too, Igor. Thanks for the excellent present. And btw.... the oak in a snowstorm along with that very first image are now
tied for ones I like best, along with the Ice one mentioned earlier.

I've heard that oarfish paddle upstream from Baja - their winter migration.

Nena,
I see the little "Oh" face with the white eyes, then I also see a shark to the right, then there's a dog to the left.
It's like seeing shapes in clouds, or in rocks...it happens to me all the time.

Yep, you're right Paulina... I see some other tiny faces, too. Whenever I see those faces in rocks and trees and such, I consider that the face of
the diva or natural spirit of the item or area. I love walking along, seeing all these ethereal beings along the way. Igor's rock is surely filled
with life. It makes me smile.

Awhile back we went to Columbia and Peru with BajaKen, had a jaunt through Morocco courtesy of Ken Bondy, and toured Arizona with DavidK and
BajaAngel.
Today I'd like to share with you the grand beauty of Yosemite National Park. I invite anyone with images from Yosemite or the Sierras to feel free to
join in, add your photos to this thread.
I'll begin with photos from my husband's Half Dome climb, as certainly they are the most spectacular images of the group.
This trip/climb had been organized by my girlfriend to celebrate her 50th birthday. She trained daily for 6 months before the climb. My disability
prevented my from joining the group, but I sent Steve as my proxy. He trained one day - said it made all his muscles sore. I had some concern for
him on the day the group left Berkeley.
The group did the climb over a 3-day period, camping along the way. Steve was feeling ill those first two days, felt better on day 3 and so did this
entire climb alone - valley floor to top of the dome and back - in one day. He left late, about 7:30 a.m. He was blessed with a full moon for the
hike down, and walked into camp about 1 a.m. The following photos show what an incredible adventure he had that day. I hope you enjoy them.
The challenge is Half Dome:

Baja and Yosemite
Thanks Nat for all the wonderful Photos of Yosemite!
The following is written from the Heart, it may not be suitable for the Weakminded Naysayers .
Nat. I did not want to Hijack your Thread so decided to wait a time for my reply to your Beautifull Post.
Went to work in Yosemite Nat. Park as a House Detective for the Curry Co., working 4 Summers while I attented College in Fresno.
All of those Photos brought back so many Memories of One of the Most Beautiful places in the World as well as All the Beautifull places in Baja when I
compared them.
Watched the Famous"FireFall" so many times, as well as counting the Lighting Strikes as they flashed off of Half Dome.
Then worked at Badger Pass as a Ski Patrolman during the Winter. There is still a Platt with my Name as the Winner of the Silver Ski Race at Badger.
Then on to Baja in 1967 to enjoy Beautifull Baja with its Great Sunrises and Sunsets, The Sea of Cortez a most Rare Jewel of a Sea, The 35 Waterfalls
near Loreto on a Rainy Day, the vast Desert, The Cactus, The Fish and Wildlife.
Both of these places are dear to my Heart and played a great Part in teaching me to be Aware of the Beauty of Life arounds us, no matter in what
Location.
You have done that in your life.
Skeet/Loreto
