Away Too Long

We entered Yosemite National Park early Sunday afternoon. Traffic into the park was light; most vacationers had already gone home. Sunlight gleamed off the granite cliffs, and snowmen sprouted in the white meadows. We stopped to take pictures.

It had been decades since we had visited Yosemite. Our excuses: it was too crowded, the road was too winding, and the pollens gave us severe allergy attacks. After one glimpse of the waterfalls, however, we knew we had been away too long. © 2009 Stephen Yuen
