Wet Reprieve in a Dry Yosemite Summer

Valley View in mid-July. A series of welcome midsummer storms had recharged the streams and waterfalls over the past couple of weeks, getting even the ever-seasonal Ribbon Fall going again in the midst of this record drought. When the storms first came, two weeks before this, the river turned greenish-brown with mud from the rain falling on dusty ground. Thankfully, the mud didn't last, but the rains did. A welcome reprieve in the midst of this unnaturally dry year.

The Tuolumne River rushing headlong across miles and miles of granite steps in the Yosemite high country on its way down towards Hetch Hetchy and ultimately into the bathtubs, kitchen sinks, and water bottles of the citizens of San Francisco.
