Yosemite Granite

Where Yosemite really starts is with the granite that the mountain and valleys are carved from:
Behind the trees, under the waterfalls and throughout the park you will see this wonderful rock that most just overlook. Go, See, Enjoy.

Went to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo the other night with Friedhelm and Nancy to view the LUMINATURE exhibits. I was very pleasantly surprised. I didn't know what to expect but this was a really great outing. I won't comment on the individual images since I think they pretty much speak for themselves. And there's a lot of them!!   Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave

Yosemite in November

 Went to Yosemite the other day. Really wasn't expecting much in the way of fall colors but was pleasantly surprised. I decided not to concentrate on the iconic features such as Half Dome and El Capitan, with one exception as you will see. I was surprised to see these wild grapes along the side of the road, even more surprised the deer hadn't eaten them. In Yosemite everywhere you look is pretty magnificent.

I got to Castle Craigs State Park a little later in the afternoon so I didn't have time to take the strenuous hike into the Craigs themselves ; }, but busied myself with a couple of shorter hikes. This guy was pretty patient, If it hadn't flitted around in front of me I probably wouldn't have seen it. Note it's size compared to pine needles. Running through the Park is Flume Creek, never really thought about the name, even though I lived in the area for years, until I saw this. One of the prettiest hikes I took was along Cabin Creek, south of McCloud. I, of course, had to hike the McCloud River Trail. My brother and I went on a road trip that took us around the back side of Mt.Shasta on Military Pass Road. Along the way I took a few photos in Shasta Valley. This is a view that not too many people will see, the road is pretty rugged  but my brother and his truck navigated it well. ...
