Nature in November
I was camping at the O’Neal Forebay in central California this week. My photographic goal was to find interesting subjects in a pretty desolate landscape. Enjoy the images!
Interestingly, there are still wildflowers blooming in November.
Hiking to the Agassiz Tree
Last Sunday David and I hiked in Calaveras State Park in the foothills of Central California. Our goal was to photograph the largest Sequoia tree in the Park, the Agassiz Tree. David is standing on the left hand side of the Tree to give the viewer an idea how large this ree is. Enjoy!
Human Being and Nature
California Fall colors are very impressive, especially on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The young man is photographing the scene and I am photographing him and the scene. This image made me think. We all are part of this world and we need preserve it that future generation can not only make a living but also enjoy the beauty of the seasons.
Morning at the Campground
California has many beautiful campgrounds. To me there is nothing better than stepping out of my trailer or tent and experience a sunrise at a lake, walk around and photograph. While returning to our camper I saw this couple enjoying the morning while eating their breakfast.
Hiking in the Eastern Sierra Nevada
Our daughter invited us to camp and hike in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. We boondocked at about 7,200 feet and drove up to a trailhead at about 10,000 feet. There we started our hike.
Pretty soon we saw the “John Muir Wilderness” sign.
Beside other hikers we saw a few fly fisher along the way.
Above 10,000 feet the wildflowers were blooming in abundance during the month of July.
And the vistas of the High Sierra mountains were stunning! Enjoy!
Pioneer Village
Today the USA is celebrating Independence Day. I thought I share a collage from some of the photographs I created at Pioneer Village in Yosemite NP. Enjoy!
Attraction
About 3.9 million people visited Yosemite National Park in 2023. people are attracted to the beautiful cliffs and waterfalls like Bridalveil Fall where I photographed these people. Enjoy!
Olmsted Point
Tioga pass recently opened in Yosemite NP. David invited us to cross over to the east side of the Sierra Nevada. On our way we stopped at Olmsted Point, a favorite tourist stop on Tioga pass.
These people were looking at a display of the Sierra Nevada.
Some people were exploring the rocky landscape at 8200ft (2500m) elevation.
Others simply enjoyed the sunshine.
At the end a view of the high Sierra Nevada. Enjoy!
Late Winter Storm at Zion National Park
“Bad weather makes great images!” I had a chance to proof it during my last visit to Zion NP. I was hoping for nice Spring weather instead I woke up to snowflakes and rapidly moving clouds. Once in a while there was a lighter moment and the sun almost peaked through.
