Yosemite a

Since we visited Yosemite in August and during a three year drought, many of the 21 waterfalls were dried up.  Despite the lack of waterfalls,Yosemite was beautiful.  While in Yosemite, we hiked, saw some of the falls that were there, viewed El Capitan and Half Dome, watched the sunset, saw Saturn, waded in the river and more. Some places were so breathtaking, we could only imagine how much more so it would be if the waterfall was present. Enjoy, we did.

Bridal Veil Falls still had some water

the top of Bridal Veil Falls, water is usually gushing over the top

what a perfect day, blue sky, breezy and a great view

every where you look

driving into the valley

Half dome could be seen from many areas

the cliffs surrounding the valley were breath taking
