"Cross Country Skiing along the Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park"

"Cross Country Skiing along the Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park" While we were up in Yosemite in February, I decided to head out on cross-country skis along the Glacier Point Road for a few hours. WOW! So tranquil and relaxing. I saw only a handful of people while admiring lush green trees and moss, and lots of snow! It was like I had Yosemite to myself - paradise and a nice workout! Meanwhile the crazy crowds were congregating below in the valley floor to attempt to capture Horsetail Falls at Sunset. The blue skies and spring temperatures also made it quite enjoyable. Next time you head to Yosemite in the Winter make sure you check out Badger Pass and cross country skiing along the Glacier Point Road. I still hope to make the entire trip out to the Glacier Point Ski Hut - but that 8 hour endeavor will have to wait! Enjoy and let me know if you like the image!

  • Lupines and Pine Needles in Yosemite National Park.  Pine cones, pine needles and purple lupines around.
  • "Spires in the Mist" Yosemite National Park. Low clouds, fog, mist and a clearing storm in Yosemite Valley is the PERFECT time to go out and shoot!  Our last day in Yosemite gave conditions that changed every minute.  I liked the ways the trees on these cliffs were popping out of the clouds looking like they are on the edge of the world.

  • "Cathedral Rocks and Spires in Summer" in Yosemite National Park.   Driving along the valley floor in summer might bring visions of thousands of visitors to some... but there are still those places where not a single person can be seen!  This is Cathedral Rocks and Spires and this clearing is an easy pull-out along the Northside drive.  A perfect spot for a picnic!  Rock climbers enjoy these rock to climb!  I believe Lower and Higher Cathedral Spires are there in the center while Higher and Middle Cathedral Rock are on the right.  Spires Gully is in the middle between the Cathedral Spires and Rocks.  There is a climbing route along there aptly named "The Crucifix" that sounds like fun (you can see info on that 5.12b climb here - <a href="http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-crucifix/106140318">http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-crucifix/106140318</a>)  Feel free to share the image and + it if you enjoy it!  <br />

  • "Full Moon Rising over Half Dome" The clouds and fog were pretty thick along the ground as we were coming back from a day of shooting. The full moon was rising behind Half Dome and created an ominous glow with the clouds. For the photo techies... I captured this with the Nikon D3S @12,800 ISO, f/8 and 4s and the 14-24 lens that I rented for the last trip. Sure would LOVE to own this camera, but at $5200 for the body and $1800 for the lens, I am going to have to wait a while. Pretty amazing to push something to that ISO! I DID run this through two passes of a noise filter (Noiseware Pro) in Photoshop
  • "Light on Yosemite Falls" A small section of Yosemite Falls with a little glow on the rock face. I love the textures and colors that you can see in the rock along Yosemite Falls. Almost a painting in nature. This is from Spring 2014 when the falls were doing quite a bit better. Nothing better than hanging out with the family in Yosemite in the Spring! Who is going this year?!
