I have the privilege to return to one of my favorite places on the planet today, some X hundred miles from my home. That place has some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth, and it is Yosemite Valley.

Work hard play hard right? For me this is the epitome of that sentiment, with the playground here being some of the most beautiful terrain our world offers.

Nature recharges us, it invigorates us; it returns us to our most basic biological and physiological state. I’m grateful to be immersed in it now, to have the opportunity to enjoy one of Earth’s many pleasures.
