Yosemite and More

If you go up Wawona Road, aka Highway 41, past Tunnel View you'll come upon a long area of roadside parking. I think it is actually a chain control area.  At the far end of the parking area you can go over the wall, with some help from some  conveniently placed rocks, and walk on a large granite area. From there you get a different view of some iconic features. This is called the Cascades. This last summer it was dry. This is the only place I know from which you can actually see them. You also get a different and higher view of El Capitan and Half Dome There are few trees up here and while short they do have character. Once again a different and higher view from the usual Tunnel View. Did I mention it was a wee bit cold. Stay tuned, I took an unplanned and last minute trip to the Merced Wildlife Refuge. Oh boy..... Go, See, Enjoy. Dave

Went to Half Moon Bay on the Central California Coast  the other day. Here's a few of my shots.  The waves were wonderful The power of even a small wave always amazes me. The Central California Coast is the best. Your choice of beaches or waves crashing on rocks. The motion of the waves can be very interesting. Here are a trio of the locals. Did you notice two don't have right legs. Not a  Photoshop trick. I checked a couple of other photograph and yep, they're missing those legs.  I spotted this couple enjoying a walk on the beach. Go, See, Enjoy. Dave

Bryce is spectacular but if you look across the valley.......... It ain't to shabby either. This would be a pretty wonderful view just about anywhere. Go, See, Enjoy Dave

As you travel Utah's  Highway 20 towards Bryce you're greeted with a small preview of what is to come. Go, See, Enjoy Dave
