Below is an image I took in October 2025 in Yosemite Valley before dawn one morning. I keep forgetting how amazing the night sky is above Yosemite! I really need to take time and go back to shoot the Milky Way. If you look closely at the photo, you can see the Big Dipper above […]

October 2025 seemed to be “Year of the Deer” for me! Tons of deer in Yosemite! Below are two images of mule deer in Ahwahnee Meadow. Have a great week everyone!

No, I didn’t find a dollar! I found the buck in the image below in Yosemite Valley near the trailhead for Lower Yosemite Falls in October 2025. Deer can usually be found in that area early in the morning. I’ve continued to make reservations for my September trip, but doubting myself as far as if […]

First off: HAPPY NEW YEAR! With that said, below is an image taken from Glacier Point last October. The fall closer to the top of the image is Nevada Falls and the smaller one below it is Vernal Falls. Vernal Falls is actually quite huge and has a ton of water coming off of it […]

The week before I went to Yosemite in October, there was a small storm front that brought snow to the higher elevation. It wasn’t a ton of snow, but was enough to help keep the waterfalls in Yosemite alive for a couple of weeks. Below is an image taken about five miles into the east […]
