So today we have two pics with the most famous half-a-dome in the world. Both were taken yesterday (still always a day behind), one from as the shirt says "the most awesome view on earth"- Glacier Point; the other truly from a yard with one of the best views on earth- Ahwahnee Meadow. Nathan Erikson's photo almost looks like a fake movie set backdrop- and besides how many times can his picture get published this week! (Good job.) Anyways, enjoy once again. More to come.
Its old! I mean the picture...A photo from last week when the loop opened and you could go up the Mist Trail and down the John Muir Trail finally after crossing the Nevada Falls footbridge. Yesterday I got lucky and had a fresh photo of the day. Today not so lucky. Tomorrow, maybe lucky. The Glacier Point Store opens to the public tomorrow and everyone is happy. Enjoy.
So these are some of the first views from Glacier Point. The high country is covered in heavy snow and here it is June in a few days. I heard the Panarama Trail is 99% snow free, though and hopefully I will find out soon. Today we have a beautiful mountain named after Galen Clark, situated above and south of Merced Lake. It's the view from the register for those working at the Glacier Point Store. Enjoy. (It opens up Friday.)
So, this picture was taken Sunday, yesterday. I had some time after work before the Lost Finale gathering began to go out, then was able to put pictures on the computer but had no time to post. So we have this image today. The lonely life of the tetherball in Yosemite. Does anybody even know where this is? I'll give you a hint: it's in someone's front yard. Now go out and play a game...
Sorry for no photo yesterday, and once again no photo today. Instead there is this oldie but goodie from the past. The weather here in the valley is dancing between wanting to rain/snow or remain mostly cloudy. Its the weekend before Memorial Day and maybe this photo from Fairveiw Dome with Spike Mike leading the way will allow some sunshine into our lives and get the Tioga Pass to open sooner rather than later. Tomorrow I promise (I hope) I will be out and about and get a shot of something in real time. It may be a traffic jam.
What to do today? You can only go to Vernal or Nevada so many times in one week- just like you can only have Mac n Cheese so many times in one week before you need a break. But you still want some exercise. So, maybe take a look at some photo ops at Mirror Lake. Than decide to make a fast break for the mysterious Hidden Falls, spend 15 minutes there, then a quick 25 minutes back to the bike parked at Mirror Lake. End up with an enchanted, mythical looking shot at the employee famous Hidden Falls. There we go, and off to work- after my Mac n Cheese lunch. Enjoy.
So its getting crowded these days on the Mist Trail, but its still fun. Here's a shot from above and around the corner from the top- you see the gathering of folks at the waterfall's edge and also the end of the steps in the lower right corner. The other shot is from way above as well, looking straight to the base of the falls. Always rainbows, always mist. Enjoy.
