Went for another solo hike today....well, actually I have been taking a walk every morning before work, this one was just longer...(Valley Loop Trail)
Meandering through the shade of tall trees...so many different barks! Some with moss....
Listening to Pink Floyd sing about Walls and Flying Pigs.....
Views of butterflies, Yosemite Falls, El Capitan, along the way....
My soul overflows from the love and peacefulness I feel in Nature
How lucky I am to be able to walk out my front door into solitude!!
I laugh out loud when I see Bridalveil Falls...there is hardly any water now, and more than once I have been soaked or misted here...
I take my headphones off for the return hike and listen to the birds, the traffic on the road below, the sloshing of the water in my backpack, and the ever constant ringing in my ears....
I see my friend riding his bike on the trail and he lets me ride it for a bit...we stop to chat and rest at a large boulder where bowls have been carved into the granite by the original settlers of this Valley....
I continue on my way...peaceful, alone, content.....
