Digging Beth's unique view of Yosemite's Half Dome bathed in the warm light of the setting sun.
Recent high temperatures at home provided an ideal opportunity to visit #Yosemite's high country during the first weekend that Tioga Pass was open. A vibrant sunset was reflected on Half Dome’s sheer granite cliffs accentuating the pines that grow in these high elevation conditions.

Storm Beyond the Dunes

Having watched numerous thunderstorm cells scattered across the region's mountains almost all afternoon, this interesting cell was expressing its last bits of energy as it dumped its remaining moisture just beyond the distant peaks.

WInter Adagio

As I was concluding a very wintery day in Yosemite Valley, the mists started to ascend and reveal the snowy crags & trees climbing up to the Valley's rim.

Lichen and moss adorn this tree's extraordinary form. It's a bit busy so I tried to keep the focus on the tree and fence
