Category: Photo of the Day

Phil King started our morning off this morning with the morning shot so it’s only fitting that he end it with this beautiful shot of Mount Conness at sunset. This photo has everything I love about Yosemite, harp peaks, green trees, puffy clouds and beautiful blue skies. Great shot, Phil. Photo by Phil King.

So we started the morning with the Morning Shot from Sathish and we’re ending it with an evening shot from Sathish as the Photo of the Day. This beautiful shot is titled Sunset on Young Lake and is a fitting counterpart to this morning’s Sunrise on Young Lake. To me the two kind of tell…

Today’s Photo of the Day is another beautiful shot by our friend G. Dan Mitchell. Dan wrote in the caption about this photo: Evening sky is reflected in a meltwater pond at the edge of a Tuolumne Meadows with Mount Gibbs and the Kuna Crest beyond, Yosemite National Park, California. A rather peaceful evening scene,…

Ok so I got busy watching the directors cut of Watchmen last night and by the time I realized what time it was on the way to bed so I didn’t get the Photo of the Day up. That movie is 3 1/2 hours long! So, without further adieu here’s the Photo of the Day…

Today’s Photo of the Day is actually one of mine from this past trip over Tioga Pass. Coming up the grade from Lee Vining I told my wife I would be stopping for a picture soon. No sooner had we got past the gates when I pulled over and set off across the meadow. Wasn’t…

It’s always a pleasure to see one of Dan Mitchell’s beautiful photos and today’s Photo of the Day is what I would consider one of his best. Dan captured this awesome shot at sunset in Tuolumne Meadows of lenticular clouds (a favorite subject of the late Galen Rowell) reflecting the pink and red hues from…

It wouldn’t be a week gone by if we didn’t have an awesome photo from Jason Armstrong (aka The Man in Red) on here for Photo of the Day and today is that day. First Light, The Diving Board is an awesome shot of the face of Half Dome up close and personal with the…

Today’s Photo of the Day is from Robin Black who sent me a link to her photoblog and some photos of her recent trip to Yosemite. While looking at all her beautiful photos I kept coming back to this little guy who just kinda stuck in my head. It’s as if he’s saying, “Yah. It’s…

Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful sunset shot from the NPS Air Quality cam that looks west from Turtleback Dome (just above the Wawona Tunnel). What you’re seeing is smoke from the Grouse fire sinking into the Merced Canyon. In the far distance what looks like clouds is actually smog over the Central…

Tonight’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot from Joshua Couts of the Merced River at sunset. What really caught my eye about Joshua’s photo was the color. Awesome! Great shot, Joshua. Hey if you like Joshua’s stuff be sure to take a look at his Smugmug galleries. Lots of beautiful shots from all…
