Day - 4, Yosemite Falls

Today was our day to enjoy the Valley.  We started at Yosemite Falls.  It was a beautiful clear day and the falls were raging!


The last bit of falls was really flowing.  It was kicking up a major mist shower.  If you timed it with the swirling wind, it was possible to get close enough for a nice picture.  Here is Alex in the mist.



Bart ran up next.



Diane gives it her seal of approval.



It was flowing so well the hump usually seen at the top was not apparent.  Looked like a different falls.



THe boys loved climbing on the big boulders near the base of the falls. They would get a running start and see if they could make it to the top without stopping. 



Bart was very good at this game.



Yosemite Falls was quite the sight with this big spring melt.



Looking back from further up the valley. 



Ribbon falls.  The largest continuous drop of a fall in the park.  It was really flowing.  I like the way the wind can push the water.



Bridalveil Falls was kicking up quite a mist.  Makes for great rainbows when the sun is right.




Bridalveil Falls from the other side of the Valley.



That night there was some food delivered to the door or our neighbors room.  Too tempting for the local racoons.  They really enjoyed their sandwich with an order of wings.
