This is from our 2010 trip to Yosemite NP.
We went to Lake Tahoe
And visited the ghost town of Bodie, abandoned and still is like the day the people left. It was a gold mining town.
And went into the Yosemite Park. Lots of snow on the ground still.
And there had been a forest fire two years prior to our visit. The purple flowers were growing amongst the burned trees. Beauty in contrast.
