It was an absolutely beautiful autumn Saturday in Yosemite. We thought it was crowded but staff talked about how quiet the park was. We enjoyed the scenery, a walk to the Lower Yosemite Falls – dry this time of year, and watching some deer enjoy their midday rest. We saw a total of six resting deer, two bucks, two doe, and two fawns. Actually the fawns were hidden and we didn’t see much more than their ears. After lunch we drove the Tioga Road and out of the park to the east. The scenery at Tioga Pass is breathtaking. We then headed south to Bishop, California for our night’s lodging.
I am glad you guys are having a great time and the pictures you posted are really awesome. I have been a bit under the weather these past few days and I haven’t been watching your blog but today I was able to catch up. Keep having a great time!
Hi there Karen & Steve – gorgeous shots of Yosemite… how cool that you got to see the deer & fawns!
I’ve got to get caught up with you… have been so darn busy lately that I haven’t had much chance to get on here, but today’s the day!

Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
