  • Finding Neverland

    So I was looking at this photo again and a thought occurred to me… on a clear day you should be able to see Patterson from the top of Half Dome. Anyone got photos? All jokes aside, Yvette, went looking for Half Dome also and took some decent shots through a pair of binoculars. I…

  • Meet a Scientist

    Ever wonder what an Ornithologist in Yosemite does? How about a Fire Archaeologist. A new series of videos from the National Park Service gives you the chance to meet scientists working in Yosemite to find out what they do. There are four videos so far: Sarah Stock an Ornithologist in Yosemite specializing in owls, Social…

  • Photo of the Day: 2 Shots of Horsetail Fall by Chuck Cagara

    After being disappointed during several outings over the past two weeks, we ventured forth again today after closely monitoring the weather and satellite reports. It looked like a reasonable expectation of moderately clear skies at the sunset time. While we did not enjoy the trickle of deep red that sometimes reveals itself after official sunset,…

  • Weird Half Dome

  • Photo Video of the Day: When Tree Meets Car by Steven Bumgardner

    @YosemiteSteve (aka Steven Bumgardner from Yosemite Nature Notes) tweeted this tonight and I knew it had to be Photo Video of the Day. It’s not actually in Yosemite but you can’t help but laugh at the poor guys rotten luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Great video, Steven.

  • Photo of the Day: Upper Yosemite Fall by Kirk Kittell

    Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot of Upper Yosemite Fall by Kirk Kittell. I think what drew my attention to this photo was the sharpness and clarity. The clouds swirling around the rocks really give it some character. Nice work, Kirk. Photo by Kirk Kittell via Flickr.

  • Photo of the Day: Lower Yosemite Fall by Jon Shiu

    Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot by Jon Shiu of Lower Yosemite Fall. Jon took the photo with a plastic toy camera with medium format roll film, printed in the darkroom and sepia toned. Pretty cool, eh? What’s also cool is it’s Jon’s entry into the Yosemite Renaissance. For the uninitiated, the…
