This weekend the town of Wawona in Yosemite received a pretty good amount of snow. This reminded me of the images I took of the Wawona Hotel in October 2013. Below are three images I took of the hotel that were stitched together in camera to create a kind of collage. Have a great week […]

Below is an image I took at the Wawona Golf Course in Yosemite in October 2013. Early snowfall is always nice in Yosemite. A slight blanket of white is welcome anytime. 🙂 As always, I’m looking forward to my trip to Yosemite in October. Who knows if there’s going to be snow early or if […]

Below is an image of Tuolumne Meadows in October of 2012. Looking forward to seeing the meadow this coming October if the pass is still open. I’m definitely going to be doing other trips but will be doing it spontaneously. It’ll probably be last minute traveling, BUT I do plan on going to the Eastern […]

Below are two images I took in Yosemite in April 2011. The Yosemite sign is no longer at the south entrance; however there is a similar restored version along the Big Oak Flat entrance. The image of the hills with the snow was taken around the town of Wawona, near the south entrance. I’m not […]

Below is an image of a cattle cabin I came across while hiking the Congress Trail in Sequoia National Park in October 2024. The cabin itself is pretty dilapidated and is in need of serious restoration. However, with that said, it’s still impressive and inspiring. Historic sites like this are worth preserving! This is the […]

I’ve been trying to figure out where I want to go this year and for some reason the north rim of the Grand Canyon is calling to me. I’ve been to the south rim three times in my life, but never to the north rim. Below is an image from my trip in 2019 to […]

Below is an image of a large metal medallion that I found on a boulder along the west end of the Yosemite Valley Loop trail while hiking in October 2024. If you don’t pay attention you’ll walk right by it. By chance I looked up and there it was. It’s not specifically on the trail, […]

While visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park in October 2024, I enjoyed seeing a number of areas I hadn’t seen in a while. One area around the south entrance of the park is called Sulphur Works. It’s a great place to see boiling mud pots and other unique volcanic landscapes. Below are two images I took […]

Crater Lake looks amazing when it’s a clear sunny day, but add a little dramatic overcast sky and it really looks incredible! Below is an image I took on my last evening at Crater Lake in October 2024. I think that evening I enjoyed the most out of all the time I spent at the […]

I have to say that 2024 was actually a pretty good year for me. There were a number of changes in my life that I’m grateful for and of course there were some things that I didn’t really like, but at the end of the year it looks like it was a good and balanced […]
