gentle flakes drift down to soften the valley floors while lacing the trees with the silent retelling of ancient native legends winding brooks of glass shimmer as they meander through meadows of gleaming frost A crystalline bridal veil adorns the cathedral cliffs granite monoliths, crafted by glacier giants, surround this valley... hovering, as if to guard the peace in God's gift to earth ..............................................................................................................

Hi Carrie! I have never been to Yosemite National Park, but it is a goal for me in the next couple years. I am thrilled that God made something so beautiful for mankind to adore...oh, and what a gift for poets to write about too. :) Congrats on this awesome write. I wish to be standing beside one of these granite monoliths that guard this powerful scenery sometime soon. Thanks for inserting the breathtaking photo. Gwendolen

Wow! A new favorite for me, Carrie. Yosemite is perhaps the most beautiful national park I ever visited and I have photos of it hanging on my walls. Your description of "bridal veil" falls and the granite monoliths sculpted during the last Ice Age are magnificent. Big congrats on your first-place win in Brian's contest! Love, carolyn
