High Clouds Over Showers Lake
The high clouds were gathering for a thunderstorm. Tried to get as many shots before diving back into the tent for the afternoon rain.
Morning in Big Meadow
Recently went backpacking for 4 days in the Tahoe Basin area. This was the 1st day we were out. We started at the trail-head Big Meadow near HWY 89 at 6:30 in the morning.
Junipers Watching Half Dome
In Yosemite there can be so many crowds milling around to get a view of iconic Half Dome. I found a spot where there are few people and a different angle. These junipers reminded me of people standing around just looking at the great view.
Small Pool at River’s Edge
Small pools form in the slick rock along the edge of the Toulumne.
River Reflections
With the water so low in the river, boulders appear when normally underwater. I was able to capture reflections in the pools along the river.
Along the Tuolumne River
Even in a low water year the Tuolumne is still a impressive sight.
Ocean Blues
Really enjoyed being out on the coast. The ocean has so many shades of blue here.
Rocky Shores
Just outside of Santa Cruz, CA the clear blue ocean crashing against these rocky shores.
Looking for Otters
High above this cove we were scanning the water for otters in the water. We spotted a few but I didn’t bring my zoom lens 😦 I used my 105mm and cropped the photo. You can see them bobbing in the water.
