Tenaya!

Yesterday we joined our friends Elysia and Jim for a "fun patrol" in Yosemite.

We started the day paddleboarding on Tenaya Lake.

Elysia

Perfect conditions! No wind. Clear water. Ideal temps.

Me!

Elysia and Jim rest on the beach after her paddle and his swim.

After a snack we headed down beautiful Tenaya Creek.


Sisyphus Mary.

As we entered the upper reaches of Tenaya Canyon the creek tumbles over granite slabs.

Flowers too!

Mary descends into the canyon.

A short descent brought us to this magnificent falls.

Swim time! Me.

Cold but not frigid. Mary jumps in too.

More great flowers.


We moseyed down the canyon a bit further.

Water sculpted granite. 

Granite expanse.

Just got a peak of Half Dome.


Can't take too many pictures of the falls!


As we neared Tenaya Lake we passed this incredibly green meadow.

Back at the lake. We took one final dip and headed home.

What a day!
