Oakhurst, California

Oakhurst, California, a small town near Yosemite. Travel photo on The Daily Fitchett

The grandeur of Yosemite and surrounding territory is absolutely awe inspiring.  Just look at the scale height of the trees versus the height of Tara and Mark, pictured here. All the trees in Yosemite National Park and nearby areas seem to be as big - or bigger - than the ones here.

Half Dome Roadside Snapshot

Would you believe this photo is just a snapshot taken with our digital camera while stopped on the side of the road? Grateful thanks go to our friends Tara and Mike who invited us to come along with them on this breathtaking trip, and also to Corinne and Michael for letting us stay at their beautiful cabin. --The Daily Fitchett
