Yosemite is a miracle that had me striving to remember the first words of John's Gospel.
When we got back to our airbnb I looked them up: "In the beginning waa the the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God...all things were made through Him and without him was not anything made...in him was life and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." And here we were, looking at these most awesome sights thinking how God has made this huge, spectacular space and still loves and cares for every little one of us as individuals. Come here and be spiritually moved. Really.
...more waterfalls...
We met this rock climber from New Zealand who had just climbed the rocky face shown below that morning. He gracefully and patiently explained how he did it using all the hardware he was wearing and carrying and admitted he suffers from vertigo when he "looks down" too. Wow!
Can you find the climbers? They are two little black spots in the lower middle of the rock face. Even with binoculars it is difficult to find them....
And in another tribute to Ansel Adams, the white dogwoods are blossoming. Some say they rival the mountains and waterfalls for beauty. As Ansel photographed them, in black and white.
With 34-foot high ceilings, enormous pine trestles and granite pillars, the chandelier-lit Majestic Hotel Dining Room is as spectacular as it is inviting.
We had a very special lunch there, sharing delicious cobb and caesar salads in that beautiful dining room....
