Yosemite is our second home.  We love it during every season and frequently find reasons to go for a week or even just a weekend.  Here are some pictures that span a number of our trips.

One of the big attractions for us is the free art classes, which are held every day in some gloriously scenic spot during the summer and early fall.  Our resident artist for the first few pictures shown below was Ben Kudo, the popular watercolor artist who originally started the Yosemite Art Program around 1980.
