Eastern Sierras and Yosemite - 7/25/08

I posted some pics of my most recent road trip to the Eastern Sierras and Yosemite National Park below. As you can see, there are still wildflowers to be found in the Sierras, especially in the upper elevations. There were lots of flowers at the Rock Creek/Tom's Place area, and up in the higher elevations in Yosemite National Park. It was a gorgeous day, and a perfect trip. My mom especially liked Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows area. It was a lovely day, with nice, clear blue skies.
