  • News from Yosemite Valley

    Well, it’s been a quiet week in Yosemite Valley. Winter has finally arrived with a paltry hostess gift of a dusting of snow.

  • The Ice Rink is Open – Winter is coming!

    The weather is still relatively balmy, but for those of us Jones-ing for a bit of snow and the onset of ski season, the opening of the ice skating rink is one of the first signs that winter is rapidly approaching.  I’m not too much of an ice-skater, myself, but the spectacular location of this…

  • Photo of the Day: Cascade Falls by Erin Malone

    I’ve been taking pictures since I got my first camera at 6 years old and was fascinated by them for a long time before that. In all my years of shooting I’ve never had pinhole photos come out quite as good as these from Erin Malone. Beautiful shot Erin. Nice work. Photo by Erin Malone…
