  And a relatively small one at that. No, I didn't bring it home, it's illegal to "collect" in Yosemite, so it got put back where I found it.

More to follow - I'm going through pictures right now. No? OK, here's a taste.

In Scouts I remember calling those "widowmakers"--for obvious reasons!

Beautiful pictures--can't wait to see more. :) Yosemite is one place I've always wanted to get to (okay, so I've been there--but I want to go again now that I'm old enough to actually remember anything).
