North Dome From Happy Isles

I am always happy at Happy Isles. Yosemite for me is all about the water. I feel I have to soak up all those ions to last me til next time. That, and the smell of dry pine needles in the sun--the perfume of camping and summer.Maybe a whiff of Coppertone. Ah, but then there is the magic factor that abounds everywhere in this magnificent place--no way to bottle it or even describe it--Yosemite is a sacred place, healing and peaceful and so very very special.
