Yosemite National Park

For my birthday, we took a trip to Yosemite, as neither Lani or I have ever been. It was beautiful. We drove all the way across Nevada on Highway 6, and we were the only traffic for hundreds of miles. We drove through the park from the East to West, and the High Sierra's were gorgeous. We saw a group of deer, and then a couple more deer crossing the roadway. We did not see any bear, we were a little disappointed with that. I was able to gather some HUGE pinecones, and will decorate them for Christmas. On the way home, I saw a bunch of wild turkey, and then a fox in Nevada near Farley. Below is Bridal Veil Falls, this is the end of the season so it is not as big as if it were in the Spring. But beautiful anyhow.

Above are deer we saw in the High Sierras. On the way to the park, we drove on Highway 120, a very hilly and curvy road, but we did get to see a bunch of wild mustangs. I wish I could have taken some pictures, but they were far away around a lake. It really thrilled me to see these wonderful wild animals.
