Photo of the Day: Bobcat by Chuck Cagara
Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Chuck Cagara over at www.MagicalLightPhotography.com Chuck said in his email: “I have seen this bobcat several times during the last month around Cook’s Meadow. It largely ignored me while intently on the prowl. Oddly, the only creature nearby (directly in the cat’s line-of-sight) was a browsing…

Photo of the Day: Untitled by Jason Manzatt
The downfall about being an uber-busy super dad is that sometimes I fall asleep when I’m trying to get the kids to bed. I had this photo all picked out for yesterday’s Photo of the Day and ready to post but…well you get the idea. So TODAY’S Photo of Day is an awesome shot by…

Horsetail Falls: Condition Report
I had the pleasure of taking Don Gale’s photography group out to photograph Horsetail Falls tonight at sunset. Thanks to the help of Jessie and Ryan, we were able to break a trail into the parking lot of El Cap picnic area, so the rest of the group could follow behind without sinking in up…

Sometimes, if you’re in the right spot at those times the sunlight seems to light the seasonal waterfall of Horsetail Creek on fire. Most everyone has heard this story and is…

And I Was the Only One There
It was rough going to get out to the El Capitan picnic area last night. The recent storm dumped about 2 feet of snow in the valley, and as you know Northside Drive is closed at Camp 4 all the way out to Pohono Bridge. I parked on Southside Drive and walked with a visitor…

Photo of the Day: A Pair of Coyotes by Thaths
I really like photos of animals in Yosemite because it helps to remind me what a wild place it still is and the more diversity the healthier the environment. Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Thaths who caught this really awesome image of two coyotes in Yosemite howling. Great shot Thaths. Photo…

Return of Big Snow Part 3: the Sequel
I added 3 more photos to the set, since there are a few flatlanders or maybe Texans who seem to enjoy this stuff. The 1st and 2nd photos are from before the weekend storm. The 3rd is a handsome and functional addition to an employee cabin. The blocks were made in the traditional way —…

Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Brian Helfrich who is one of the contributors here at Yosemite Blog. I have a secret dream (well I guess it won’t be so secret after this) to get caught in a snowstorm in Yosemite where I can spend oodles of time taking photos afterward. Brian…
