Day 2 at Yosemite
The day, once more ,started early. We started off by going to Bridalveil Falls ... named so because of their resemblence to a Bride's Veil (obv.)

















Then we stopped by a bridge - called the Swinging Bridge-for some pictures that came out like wallpapers!


Picture perfect

Then we went to the hiking trail- to hike up to the Vernal falls- that was the mission of the day! It was a good 4 mile walk- and breathtaking it both senses of the word. There were beautiful cascades of water, and oddly shaped rocks and trees brilliant in Fall colours, standing gaily amidst subdued green; and there were vertigo inducing views such as this , that momentarily stunned us. There were mysterious forests that strtched forever and lightnig stuck trees that stook starkly agains the green.














The woods are lovely,dark and deep

And at the end there was the waterfall itself - utterly worth the journey that had brought us there( and in the rain too!)







































































We ate out that night - fast food to make up for all the exercise that we'd done ! And we left the next morning- back to LA , refreshed in body and in mind.
