Yosemite


We're off for the next week to Yosemite, National Park.  I made reservations soon after returning from our Great Plains Tour.  One cannot dilly-dally too long with Yosemite or you will not get a campsite.  As luck would have it, a low pressure system will move down from the upper Pacific coast bringing a chance of rain and lower temperatures for the week I selected.  But I always try to see the bright side of an otherwise dismal situation.  Hopefully the skies will be filled with dramatic clouds which would only improve upon this scene I photographed earlier this year in May.

Yosemite is beautifull, have a nice time. You always can play cards when the rain is tapping on the roof.

I was born not too far from Ansel Adams country. 70 miles to be exact. Rain, shine or snow this place is a vision. Enjoy.

Dramatic skies, maybe even a rainbow...sounds good to me! Can't wait to see the results!

Hey there! Seems like everyone is headed to Yosemite right now! Bet you'll get some nice clouds and great color. Love the monochrome though!

Beautiful. Ansel Adams-ish. Hope you have a wonderful trip. Can't wait to see what you saw.

With that low pressure system, and risk of rain, there will not be too many people camping, this weekend...

Valley view, my favorite photo spot.
