This is Yosemite. The snow was so deep, we had to make a cave for ourselves.

haahaa, just kidding. This is a nice view of the valley. Note that there is no snow on the valley floor. You have to go up to the rim to play. But looking at this picture, doesn't it make you think of "You Do All Things Well" by Chris Tomlin?

so we went shooting at sunrise one morning. And it was the day after a storm. And for the first 30 minutes all we could get were mountains shrowded in mist. But for 2 minutes or maybe 5 (i forgot, jay do you remember?), the sun came out of a pocket of clouds and the valley started glowing like this.

Confucious welcomes you, your snowshoes or nordic skies to take the path of uncertainty... the path of certain death!!! (or a leisurely walk down the road.)
