I took more than 700 pictures while on a one week trip from Houston to California (Oct 1-8, 2009).

Here are a couple from the 2nd day, when we visited the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia Trees at Yosemite National Park.


The California Tunnel Tree.  Last standing man-made tunnel tree, the other has fallen.

A visitor to our picnic after we finished the tour of the Sequoia trees.  It finally broke off a piece of the potato chip it could fly with.

You know it's like the old saying goes that it's just not a Renaissance Festival without rain which couldn't ring more true these days if you ask me.
