Even in the midst of prolonged drought, if you go early enough in the year, you can see Yosemite as it should be, where the summer gold and granite glare is replaced by lush greens everywhere, with water in all the falls. Here's hoping that this year's El Niño brings the park and all of California some much-need relief.
The blue skies, green trees, and gray granite of a midsummer meadow in Yosemite Valley, looking southwest towards Cathedral Rocks.
A surprisingly still moment on the banks of the Merced River, at Valley View in the heart of Yosemite. Taken with my iPhone as my main camera was busy on its tripod doing its thing.
