Although I’ve been going to Yosemite regularly since I was perhaps five years old (and I’m not going to say how long ago that was… ;-) I’ve never managed to see the February marvel of Horsetail Fall at sunset.

I thought that this image of summer might be a nice end of year photograph – not only is it a nice memory of last summer, but it reminds me that the days are now getting [...]
I had the opportunity to make one last fall color trip to Yosemite this past weekend – and this time I didn’t try to cram the whole trip into a single day.
I left reasonably early on Saturday so that I could be in the Valley shortly after dawn. On the first day I spent a [...]
