Bridalveil Falls
This picture is kind of busy. At first it didn’t really do it for me, but after looking at it a few times i grew to like it. Usually I don’t use a long lens for the obfuscation factor but here i did. It started out innocently enough. The sun was shining directly in my…

Bridalveil Falls Runoff
I’ve been absent for a while, sorry about that. I’ve been trying to figure out my next project and am coming up short. I think i might try to do one of the other ideas I had for my SoFoBoMo project. There are 2 or 3 others I really liked but one that I would…

Bridalveil Falls with Rainbow
If you’ve ever stood at the base of the falls you know how wet you can get. Well… i got about that wet. In about a 10 minute period I went from walking around in the warm evening air to being freezing and wet at the base of the falls. Being the end of the…

Bridalveil Runoff

Near California Falls – YNP
We stopped for lunch around California Falls on our way down the trail Saturday afternoon. The landscape all around us was amazing, you could easily see tens of miles in every direction. This area is covered with snow for a majority of the year – on average there is 300-500 inches (that’s 25 – 41…

Glen Aulin Falls – YNP
Staying at Glen Aulin is quite nice. We managed to land what the camp manager stated was the “best tent they had, right next to the falls.” These were those falls. We were probably 50 feet away from the water’s edge and the lull was quite nice. During the day the beach area around the…
