    Congrats to you and the Mrs. on your 23rd!

    Really nice shots. Hetch Hetchy is one of those places not many people
    get to but well worth the visit once you're there.

    Really good photos! I especially like the third one - I could spend hours looking at it.

    And congratulations on your marriage, of course! clap.gif

    first, congratualtions...
    on 28 years. i will be *entering* year #1 about 13 months from now lol.

    second, amazing shots. yosemite is #1 on my list of places to go. i want nothing more than to see these same vistas for myself. people like you immortalize this landscape over and over again with images that make the best poetry look tame.

    very nice images.

    It's wondeful to have three National Parks so close!
    I can be in Sequoia in 45 minutes, Kings Canyon takes around 2 hours and Yosemite Valley is about 3.5 hours....not to bad and you're even closer thumb.gif
