Destruction after the 1996 Happy Isles rock slide. Photo courtesy Garry Hayes. My good friend and former Geology Professor, Garry Hayes, was digging through a pile of slides in the Geology Department when he came across some from the 1996 Happy Isles rock slide. Garry posted a couple of the photos as well as a [...]
Dave Miller from Bay Area Outdoors took this beautiful sunrise shot of the moon over Half Dome on his recent trek around the North Dome Loop. I really like the great colors in Dave’s photo. The different tones of blue and the complete blackness of the silhouette are awesome. Great shot, Dave. Today’s Forecast: Sunny. [...]
There are quite a few shots of the bobcat in Yosemite on Flickr but he always seems to be standing still. Bri74 had a bit of luck and was able to capture this shot of the lynx with a breakfast of what appears to be rabbit. Nice shot, Bri74. Today’s Forecast for Yosemite Valley: Partly [...]
No sorry, no rain in the near future for Yosemite. But Bog Iron Pines happened to be there during a thunderstorm and took this beautiful shot. How can you tell it’s raining? Look at the water. I love the large amounts of black and the darkness of the photo in the photo. Really makes you [...]
Yesterday we featured a black and white by Forrest Pangborn as our Photo of the Day. Today’s Morning Shot is an almost identical shot but I like it better. By simply changing the height at which the photo was taken but not moving Forrest kept the same subject matter but brought the rocks lower down [...]

Jason Armstrong is resposonsible for today’s Morning Shot. Jason got up early one morning and headed out before the sun was up to capture this beautiful shot of Yosemite Falls with some awesome color on the clouds. Great shot, Jason! What’s up with the Morning Shot? After considerable thought…OK, like 2 seconds…it occurred to me [...]
Today’s morning shot is sunset shot of Half Dome taken from Olmstead Point by KoKong 果剛. I really like the colors and the low hanging clouds that really add drama to the photo. Great shot! Today’s Forecast for Yosemite Valley: Hot. High around 94. Overnight lows around 52F. Definitely a fall day in California. Can [...]
Melisslissliss on Flickr recently went backpacking into the Ansel Aams wilderness. Along the way she crossed over this awesome bridge in the back country. Photo by Melisslissliss. Today’s Forecast: Partly cloudy. Highs around 89F. Overnight lows around 59F. Looks like another picture perfect day in Yosemite.
Today’s awesome Morning Shot is a beautiful shot down the ridge of the Mathes Crest near the Cockscomb (very distinct looking peak in the foreground) by Taylor Davis. I love the way the clouds add dimension to the shot. It’s almost like sizing plants small to large to make a Japanese Tea Garden to give [...]
