Such a special day - even the sky seemed to be smiling!

After Sumishta and Keith left for Los Angeles, Richard and I decided to take a trip to Glacier Point, then revisit Yosemite Valley briefly before heading home ourselves. Here is the video Richard and I shot that day.—Pabini

Yosemite with Pabini & Richard and Sumishta & Keith June 2010

After a Winter and Spring that brought us about 130% of our normal annual precipitation in Northern California, Richard and I knew this would be a special year in Yosemite, so we returned to Yosemite with Sumishta and Keith, our special friends. Yosemite has always been my favorite place, but it's at its best in late Spring, when the rivers and waterfalls are running high.

Here’s a video of the footage Richard and I shot on our trip to Yosemite with Sumishta and Keith, in two parts.—Pabini

The first day: Bridal Veil Falls

As we near Bridal Veil Fall, the water drifts softly through the air onto our beaming faces.

The first day in Yosemite

The first day we arrived, Pabini insisted we go out immediately and see one of the best views I have ever seen, and it sure was worth it!
