I was over at Ventura Harbor this morning to get some steps in (try to do 10,000 steps a day) and went over to the Channel Island National Park Visitors Center. Some really nice color was displaying in the garden in front of the visitor’s center. Below is an image of some of the small […]

I always like going into Yosemite through the east entrance. The landscape has so much to offer for photography. Below is an image I took in June 2015. At first I thought the image was taken on an early morning, but according to the data captured in the image, it was taken minutes before 7pm! […]

One of my favorite lake in Mammoth Lakes is Grant Lake. It’s usually pretty busy in the morning with people fishing, but on one June morning in 2014 it was pretty quiet. Below is an image I took while up there that morning. I finally went over to Ventura Harbor this morning and walked around. […]

Below is an image I took up in the high country of Yosemite in June of 2014. It’s one of my favorite places to hike to when I’m up there. This area probably still has a ton of snow as it is at around 10,000 feet in elevation. I may not get up to the […]

I didn’t post a blog entry for a few weeks. I think I was lazy on Memorial Day weekend and last weekend I was doing some work for my IT job, so it’s definitely time to get back in the saddle and do a blog! Below is an image of the waterway leading to Crystal […]

I never get bored of driving up HWY 395. Below is an image I took in 2014 while going between Mammoth Lake and Yosemite. I’m thinking of going up to Mammoth and Yosemite after they reopen Tioga Pass this summer. Since the snow levels are so high this year, I’m thinking I won’t be able […]

It’s spring! Not only is the snow and ice melting in the Sierra Nevada, but it’s also still snowing on some days! Such a strange weather pattern for this time of the year! Below is an image of Twin Lakes in Mammoth Lakes. It was taken in June of 2014 in the early afternoon. It’s […]

Yosemite is seeing more water flow through the park than it’s seen in decades. The Merced River especially is reaching levels not seen in a while. It’s possible that the meadows may become flooded this year during the spring melt. Hopefully there won’t be too much damage if it floods areas of Yosemite Village. Below […]

One weekend morning, in March of 2014, I had an idea of going up HWY 14 to catch a sunrise…so I got up in the middle of the night and did the drive to see the sunrise. Below are two images I took that morning. I’m hoping to make that drive in the fall this […]

Tioga Pass will normally open around Memorial Day after a regular snow season. However, since the Sierra Nevada had an extraordinary winter season for 2022/2023, it looks like the pass won’t open until July. With as much snow as there’s up there, I’m guessing somewhere around the third week of July! I know that sounds […]
