Since Glacier Point Road will be closed in 2021 for road repair and improvements, I explored many areas off the road this fall while in Yosemite. Below are four images I took at McGurk Meadow. If you’ve never done this hike, it’s definitely worth it the next time you’re in the park. It was a […]

There wasn’t haze every day when I was on my trip to Yosemite in October, but it was hard to gauge which day was going to be hazier than others. The morning I went to Glacier Point was definitely a hazy morning. I still took advantage of the moments to take some photos. While they […]

While on my trip to Yosemite, I went up to Glacier Point to try and catch some sunrise images. Unfortunately the haze that morning was going to make it almost impossible to get a really good shot. The haze was so bad I could see it in the dark of night while driving up the […]

While in the Eastern Sierra on this last trip, haze from the Creek Fire had spread as far south as Lone Pine and as far north as the north shore of Mono Lake. Below is an image I took from the hills above the north end of Mono Lake, facing south. The haze in the […]

Ah! The beautiful change of seasons in the Eastern Sierra! Fall brings out the best in the aspens around the June Lake Loop and Lee Vining Canyon. I was completely surrounded by the change of fall color for a week. Below are three images I took while in the area this October. Have a great […]

I’ve been back for about a week from my trip to the Eastern Sierra and Yosemite. There were days of haze caused by the nearby Creek Fire and then days of clear blue skies. In all, I enjoyed the trip and hiking. I took HWY 395 up and made a detour the first morning to […]

Take a look at the picture below. While it isn’t the most amazing image I’ve ever taken, it has a lot of significance. The hillside in the image (taken October 27. 2016) no longer looks that way. Why? A fire ripped through this part of Yosemite in 2018 and destroyed everything in its path. When […]

Fires are still burning like crazy in California. There is a specific fire, the Glass Fire, in the Sonoma/Napa region of California that is doing a lot of damage. My thoughts and prayers are with those who live in that area and for the fire fighters who are working really hard. I looked at the […]

I took the following image in the high country of Yosemite on October 19, 2015, right inside the east entrance. I could only wish for snow when I go this year to Yosemite, but it’s been extremely warm in that area and I’m not expecting there to be any cold weather. Global warming effects? It’s […]

Below is an image I took in Yosemite in October 2015. Sunrise in any meadow in Yosemite can be so amazing! Looking forward to a few of them during my upcoming trip. Have a great week everyone!
