The first picture is of El Capitan. Big rock...or look what they can do with styrofoam! Lucy was a big hit with all the tourists. They couldn't resist her charm. Tootsie just put up with it all. The scenic pictures are hazy due to all the smoke in the air because of fires. We stayed for a couple of nights in Oakhurst which is about 16 miles from the park. Tim hadn't been here for 50+ years. His uncle owned land in the area and he used to come here as a kid. We scoured many back roads trying to find his uncle's former property. No such luck. He showed me the corner where Mr. Goatly sold soda pop, eggs, ice cream bars and goat meat. His real name was Mr. Whitely...but he said it wrong one day and forever more Mr. Whitely became Mr. Goatly.
Ahhhh. Such memories. Tim's having a good time.

Beautiful picture! This is one of my favorite places in Yosemite Valley! Its so breathtaking, good photography.
Some of the most gorgeous scenery I've ever seen is in Yosemite. That's a great photograph - should be framed.
