Salmon Creek Trail

I had a chance to hike up the Salmon and Spruce Creek drainages in Big Sur. Lots of flowers, plenty of water, wasps in my ear, and on the way home Tika spotted a scruffy dog riding in style.

Yes, Yosemite Images

Spent two days roaming through Yosemite N.P. taking "Touristy" photos.
