BeestonThis is a beautiful place to go and walk in Cheshire, England. My husband has walked these hills as a young man - with me courting and then as a married couple! - We have enjoyed rambling on the many paths with good friends and family - with one kid and now two! ~ These hills hold many happy memories for us - it is a special wild windblown spot! |

Near Sentinel beach Yosemite valley
We managed to get away for a few days up to Yosemite in
the New Year. We decided to travel down to the valley and take a hike. We
parked the car by Swinging Bridge and Sentinal Beach. The light was beautiful,
blue skies, sunshine and snow with views of Yosemite Falls, Three Brothers, El
Capitan and Half Dome. Ice crystals covered naked branches and twinkled in the
sunlight - we could see what looked like individual snowflakes lying in the
snow. I have never seen this before – not even in Yosemite. It was incredibly
beautiful – we were in a complete ‘Winter Wonderland’.

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things, of this world - not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.
