  • 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…

  • Schooled at Clark Range View

    For a short time yesterday, I thought this would be a photo of two beautiful women on skis. Instead, it’s two porta-cans in a snowbank. Sometimes life is like that. I went to the Clark Range View trail, near Crane Flat, to see if there was any snow up there. It was a great day,…

  • 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…

    Today’s Photo of the Day is…well…I’m speechless. It makes me want to call in sick to work and drive into the park. Great shot Edie. Very beautiful. Photo by Edie Howe-Byrne via Little Red Tent.net.

  • 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…
