A week before I went to Yosemite in October, there was a small rain and snow storm that came through the park. The snow and rain helped recharge the waterfalls in the park which was a nice site to see in the fall. Below is an image of Lower Yosemite Falls after an early morning […]

The wildlife in Yosemite was very active in Yosemite when I visited in October. While I didn’t see any bears on this trip, the deer and other animals seemed to be everywhere. Below is an image of a mule deer near the trailhead for Lower Yosemite Falls early one morning. The deer seemed very approachable, […]

There is one very iconic tree in Yosemite National Park and it’s the large oak tree in Cook’s Meadow. It draws photographers far and wide to the meadow to get an image of it, usually in the fall season. Below is an image I took in October of the oak tree. It never gets old […]

I’d been meaning to go back and visit Manzanar for a while now, so when I went up to Yosemite this October via HWY 395, I stopped at the historic site. I was too early to go into the visitor’s center, but I did walk around the area and checked out a number of buildings. […]

I’ve been back for a few days now from Yosemite and Sequoia National Park and have to say it was a great trip!!! There are a lot of images to go through and need to update my galleries really bad. Hopefully I can get that done in the next couple of weeks. Below are two […]

Below is an image of a cascade of water that is part of the South Fork of the Tuolumne River as it flows into Aspen Valley in the northwest end of Yosemite. This area is pretty popular as you see it right off Tioga Pass. In late spring when the road opens there is a […]

Below is an image of the Merced River with El Capitan in the background. This was taken on June 3rd this year around 12pm. I pulled over and spent a little time relaxing while the river rushed on by. The river won’t look this full in the fall, but it should have some water. I’m […]

Last weekend was the Ventura Art and Chalk Festival 2025. There wasn’t as many chalk artists as there have been in previous years from what I remember, but the art was still amazing! Below are some images I took early Monday and Tuesday morning after the weekend festival. It was good to take images at […]

Below is an image I took in June this year of the snow covered peaks around Tuolumne Meadows in the Yosemite high country. Looking forward to seeing them again when I go up into the area in the fall. Have a great week everyone!

While in Tuolumne Meadows in the Yosemite high country in June this year, I came across a marmot that was along the Tuolumne River.  It was a little nervous so I didn’t get too close.   It’s best to let wildlife be wild and not disturb it.  Below is an image of the marmot as well […]
