Wandering through the Trona Pinnacles feels like stumbling into surreal dreamscape, the twisted rock formations rising like ancient sentinels from the Mojave Desert floor.

The valley glows with prescribed burns, warm light dancing through trees and rippling across the Merced River. Sentinel Rock stands guard as the Milky Way twinkles above.

The Merced River mirrors Half Dome’s majesty, its glassy surface reflecting the granite giant with perfect clarity, as warm lights from Housekeeping Camp twinkle through the trees.

Double moonbows, rare and resplendent, gracefully span the misty veil of Yosemite Falls, their ethereal arcs a fleeting wonder in the night’s dark embrace.

As I hiked to Old Inspiration Point, a black bear emerged 20 feet away, unfazed. I grabbed my camera and followed, snapping photos as he explored a fallen tree. I captured this as when he looked up. The bear eventually approached me, paused, and continued on, leaving me in awe.

During a visit to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, I spotted an Egret perched on a walkway rail. I must have startled it, because the Egret suddenly took flight. As it flew overhead, it dropped a "present" on a unsuspecting couple. Lucky for me, I got the shot!

A surprise summer storm rolled in during sunset at one of my favorite secret spots in Yosemite Valley, treating us to an unexpected spectacle. Cameron and I huddled under coats to protect our cameras as we captured the dramatic scene.

I stopped at Tamarack Falls Bridge mid-day, despite the harsh sunlight. By stacking five neutral density filters, I captured a dreamlike scene with soft, serene light, transforming the mid-day sun into a magical early morning effect.
