Day Three... Santa Barbara to Yosemite




I don't think I have ever felt so small, so tiny, so minuscule...


Today we drove from Santa Barbara inland to Yosemite and set up camp at Summerdale. With a short 1.5 mile drive and the use of a National Parks Pass (thanks Ann) we found ourselves surrounded by giants and engulfed in nature. For our madden exploration of the park we decided to to tackle the GIANT SEQUOIAs - figuratively of course. Our adventure of about four miles round trip has left me relatively speechless. How does one begin to describe the magnitude of these trees or the wonder of God's creations. I am baffled that some can continue to live their entire lives and never as much as desire to gaze at this beauty that surrounds us. How does one walk through this and continue to question the existence of a higher being? The pictures included do not even begin to do it justice. Tonight we camp among trees that are hundreds of years old, in the same places that those before us laid. Tomorrow we continue to explore these wonders.

  1. I love the picture of the tree that looks like it is straight for Jack & The Beanstalk. That is an amazing shot!
