Mammoth Mirror

Taken at Tioga Lake near Yosemite National Park on November 12th, 2013 While running down the east side toward Death Valley for a workshop I lucked into a great sunset over the Yosemite high country. A recent storm had left snow above 9,000 feet and the high peaks above Tuolumne Meadows were particularly striking. The […]

Temple of Snow

Cathedral Rocks and Merced River in Winter, Yosemite National Park

Taken from the banks of the Merced River in Yosemite Valley on December 27th, 2012 It’s become somewhat of a tradition for me to snow camp in Yosemite during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. This year, on my first night in the trip I walked along the Merced to one of my […]

Lyell Twilight

Taken deep in the Lyell Canyon in Yosemite National Park on July 2nd, 2013. Having hiked about 8 miles into Lyell Canyon from Tuolumne Meadows I noticed beautiful Kuna Creek cascading down the eastern flank of the canyon. Thinking the creek might provide an interesting viewpoint for a photo, I waded across the (freezing) Tuolumne […]

Pohono Bloom

Yosemite dogwoods in bloom near Pohono Bridge

Taken in Yosemite National Park on April 25th, 2013 Despite following the driest winter on record for the Sierra, spring 2013 came to Yosemite Valley in full force. As usual the waterfalls were spouting like colossal fountains, but even more spectacular were the Yosemite dogwoods, which were blooming profusely throughout the valley. I’ve never seen […]

Dome Light

Thunderstorm above Half Dome at sunset, Yosemite Valley

Taken in Yosemite National Park on April 24th, 2013 In late April 2013 warm temperatures brought afternoon thunderheads to Yosemite a few days in a row. On this day they continued to build up throughout the afternoon and even dropped some rain on the valley for a few brief minutes. Luckily for all the photographers […]

Gates of Winter

Yosemite Valley View Winter Sunrise

Taken in Yosemite Valley at Valley View on December 29th, 2012 I was winter camping in Yosemite Valley. After a lovely snooze on a bed of snow, thermarests, and cozy blankets, I got up early on the morning of December 29th, 2012 to catch the sunrise. I drove to El Capitan meadow to assess the […]
