This was several years ago, part of a whirlwind tour through 2 parks in as many days...obviously someplace I need to return to some day!

It's no wonder Ansel Adams spent a ton of time here!! It's out of this world

at the start of this trail, there were about 7 artists paint drawing, sketching...pretty cool to see...meanwhile I was doing a drive by with my camera!

that would be the best! the camping and the returning.

I would like to do the same but it might be a decade before we return realistically. :3072:

Ansel Adams my favorite photographer EVER... after you of course Tim. That place is amazing! I'm a mountains freak though.

after

He is the epitome of Landscape Photography for sure.

Need to remember to make sure I am in tip top shape if we ever return. They have these 3-7mile hikes with stupid crazy gorgeous views...that's where the action is!

some more beauts.

the last two are actually the backside of Sequoia, which we also drove through one day. It's got a lot more driving than Yosemite did, Yosemite being a big ol valley.

Wow, Tim. Those are great. I've always wanted to go there, but somehow I don't think my photos would be as good as yours...

Thanks, and for a "small fee" you could hire me to be your personal family photographer

funny, my "photos served" on photrade went from 1903 to 1945 just now b/c this page loaded

once they figure out the pay per view/click stuff that will bode well for me!!

this is actually Tehacapi, 3 hours South of Yosemite. Our view from our condo:

view from the plane, while it's hard to see, there are the mountains at the furthest edge where the clouds less sky is
