Winter at Yosemite Falls

As Ive written about in many of my images Yosemite National Park is truly one of the most magical places on earth in my humble opinion. Yosemite Falls s the center piece of Yosemite Valley being the tallest waterfall in North America and the 2nd tallest in the world.

Wild Mustard

Wild Mustard grows all over Northern California. Typically it's living all year round but the blooms only open when there is plenty of rain. Out here that usually means springtime.
The vineyards let the mustard grow between the grape vines adding a little spice to the soil. When you travel through the Napa Wine Country in the spring time the valley is filled with the tiny yellow flowers.

Mirror Lake Boulder

This boulder sits in Mirror Lake underneath the towering walls of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley. The lake is slowly becoming a meadow as the sediment from the surrounding mountains flows down and fills the lake.
This boulder caught my eye in late winter with the nice clean reflection and the deep green water.

Fall on the Merced

Golden autumn trees glow along the Merced River as soft morning fog drifts through Yosemite Valley, reflecting warm color onto the still water. This peaceful, atmospheric scene captures the quiet magic of fall in one of America’s most iconic landscapes.

Between the Rows

People it seems are drawn to order. Check the right box, everything in its place, so on and so forth.
Turns out that maybe nature needs order. The grape vines are manicured, primped, and trimmed to produce the best, highest quality grape with acceptable yields. There is a balance there but I think it's safe to say that the farmers in the Napa Valley have this pretty much figured out.

Tropical Waterfall

This waterfall as far as I know, has no name. I say that because this waterfall is man made on the side of a road at the Waikoloa Village golf club in Waikoloa Village.
Some people might say that this has a lesser value or meaning because it is man made. But to me that just devalues the beauty that man is able to create.

Rocky Mountain National Park

I had one chance to get up in the mountains on a visit to Colorado some time back. Despite the nice sunny look, at 14,000 ft it was rather cold at the summit.
I wish I could have gone the previous day when a storm was skirting the area but I obligations. Although, to me, this is very beautiful, I can only imagine what it would have looked like with clouds around the peaks.

Fall Color Napa Style

Fall color comes to Napa late in the year. At least compared to my friends in the North.
Golden Napa Valley vineyards sweep across rolling hills in vibrant autumn color, with rows of yellow‑orange grapevines leading toward a hazy, sunlit horizon. Dark trees frame the left side, adding contrast and depth to the warm, glowing landscape.

Horton Bay General Store II

The Horton Bay General Store is located in Northern Michigan and is located on the Boyne City/Charlevoix Road in the village of Horton Bay. The village is so small that most people might not even know that they are in a village as the population of Horton Bay is a big 38 living souls.

Red Barn

I was on a mission when I captured this image of a Red Barn in Levering Michigan. The mission was to capture pictures of old barns and I had found exactly what I was looking for.
This barn reflects everything I was looking for in a barn, the color red, the sloped roof, the big barn doors, out on the countryside in the middle of a pasture with dark blue skies framing the building.

Palace of Fine Arts Infrared III

The infrared photograph shows the Palace of Fine Arts glowing in bright, ethereal tones. Its grand dome and colonnades rise beside a still pond, with trees rendered in luminous white. The scene feels serene, architectural, and dreamlike, with crisp contrast and a timeless atmosphere.

Storm Brewing

Tunnel View. This has to be my favorite view of nature in all the world. This is located on State Highway 41 and is one of the first views that most visitors to the park will see of Yosemite Valley.
On the right in this image is Bridalveil Falls. Bridalveil Falls is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the park and typically flows year long except during dry years.
