Breathe, breathe in the air
Don’t be afraid to care
Leave but don’t leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

We started off at white wolfe. Took “The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne” to Glen Aulin. Then to May Lake, Top of Mount Hoffman. From there down to the valley. It was a 10 day trip! And a banana split never tasted better once we got to Curry Village :)

Well it looks like a hard road to travel and you have captured it very well. Great perspective and contrast.
And I love the words, quite insightful and helpful just at the moment. Keep it up, your an inspiration…....

love this Mar ~ good to see you and whoa ~ look where you’ve been! Love the vista and the lyrics :)
buddykfa
Good to see you back, again, Mar ;-)
I’ve been looking for a new post.
This one is perfectly named because when I think of you,
it is in a place like this; hiking and climbing.
I’d looked past the Pink Floyd and by the time I’d finished
reading it, realized that it sounded like their song.
They’re truly a classic
and so are you, Mar.
Keep sending back your experiences for those of us who can’t
actually be there with you.
It’s been great to share in part of your life
and in the fabulous photographs that you’ve sent back
for me to project myself into.
To feel the rocks under your heavy boots.
Smell the evergreens.
See the vistas that run a hundred miles at a time.
The cold clear water as clean and potable as any
has ever been.
As your pix show over and over, Mar-ster~
YOU ROCK!
buddy

Brings to mind that great feeling when you reach the summit :)
BYRON
Mar, you never told me you like Pink Floyd.
You know what would be waaaay cool? Pink Floyd performing in the field in front of El Capitan on a lovely summer night.
The music.
The light show.
The reverb off the granite mountains.
The drugs I would be smoking…
KenK
Beautiful country and the words of the song go well together….especially the last two lines :)
Stacy Rodriguez
Looks like a great hiking spot, love the shot. You look like you needed a short rest. Great work. :)

You always seem to be taking a catnap in your Sierra photo shoots. :) I can picture you as a blur, moving up the trail when the camera is packed. Beautiful setting!
