Or not. We didn't take the boat trip out to the Rock this time around, but mountain biking over the GG bridge was fun.

Another famous Yosemite view that I've waited for a long time to get to see for myself. Not really the best light and no waterfall, but can't really not have a go - and on the way back there were uniform grey rain clouds. Wawona Tunnel View, Yosemite NP

Tree forms of the imagination. The 'interesting' sky was actually a warning of an approaching storm. Mariposa Grove, Yosemite NP.

A familiar view even though this trip was the first time I had set eyes on Half Dome. Seen here early in the morning while descending the Panorama trail from Glacier Point. Yosemite NP
