This is where Horsetail Falls pours over the east side of El Capitan, Yosemite. I got this shot in 1995? while on a photo assignment shooting climber on El Capitan. View is looking east down Yosemite Valley with Half Dome covered in clouds, center.

I went out to the west end of Tuolumne Meadows the other evening and there were 50 deer, they were every where. This starts out with some of the herd feeding and playing in the meadow. Then I follow the Tuolumne River downstream towards Glen Aulin next to some cascades heavy with snow melt run off. |
This shows the spring runoff down river from Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite.

The Mighty Merced River Spring Run Off. This is by Arch Rock and shows the Merced River BIG water from the snow melt. It has gotten really big with the hot temperatures and will not last long due to lack of snow in Yosemite's High Country. Taken 5/17/08
Cascade Falls on Hwy 140 in full spring run off.
Yosemite's famous Jeffrey Pine on Sentinel Dome, whose poetic beauty and unique, wind-swept formation made it one of the most photographed trees in the park. The gnarled tree, photographed by Carleton Watkins in 1867 and later made famous by Ansel Adams, had stood dead since a severe drought in 1977. It finally fell sometime between Aug. 9 and 11.
The spring run off is in full swing. This was taken just below the old dam on Hwy 140.
