I was coming down the Big Oak Flat Road into Yosemite Valley in April when out of nowhere came a beautiful rainbow. Below is an image I took of the view. The rainbow was only out for less than three minutes, so I had to pull over fairly fast. Luckily there was a turnout close […]

I’m tempted to get up to the high country since Tioga Pass is open now. I miss going up the road to the high country and seeing all the incredible sites. I’ll need to see if I can snag a reservation ticket for entering the park at www.recreation.gov. Reservations are required during peak hours to […]

Below are two more images of my last trip to Yosemite. The first is of snowy cliffs around Yosemite Valley and the second is an up-close view of the Three Brothers. I have to admit that the snow days on the last trip were really inspirational. However, late spring – early summer is here. I […]

Whenever I visit Yosemite, I try and make a short trip to Foresta, a small town area right off the Big Oak Flat Road in Yosemite. There are two settler barns in the area that are just amazing. Below is an image of the two barns and the meadow behind them that I took on […]

Along the north cliffs of Yosemite Valley is an incredible rock formation called The Three Brothers. I really became aware of these granite beauties when I did a photo workshop with Michael Frye and since then have really been drawn to them as I drive through the valley. Below is an image of the Three […]

Below are three more images from my trip to Yosemite a week ago. The first two images are of the shoreline and rocks around the south fork of the Merced River, next to the cabin where I stay when I’m in Yosemite. Waking to this sight on Friday morning was amazing! The third is of […]

I just returned from a week in Yosemite and a quick drive through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Friday morning I woke up to a surprise in Yosemite: SNOW!!! It snowed overnight and the whole park was a winter paradise! Below are two images of Crane Flats Meadows. I’ll post more images in the […]

On my way out of Death Valley in March, I decided to take the longer way home and go up to the city of Lone Pine along HWY 395. This gave me good options for lunch and I was able to see the Eastern Sierra after a small snow storm went through a couple of […]

The images below were taken from Dante’s View when I was in Death Valley in March. There was a small storm that went through the area the night before I arrived and dropped a small amount of snow on the higher elevation, which you can see in one of the images. Definitely a great trip […]
