The mystery of a place is something which waits to be searched out.  Never presenting itself openly, it lives within the reality of our known senses.. just beyond the realm of the obvious.  We open our eyes to observe the supposedly solid which surrounds us.  We must open our spirits, our hearts, in order to truly see beyond.  The summer of 2010 found me visiting Yosemite National Park in California with a dear friend.  Returning home began my search for the underlying truth of what I felt in that place.  Thus, these pictures representing the
Spirits of Yosemite came to be.
