  • It's Reflection Disturbed

    It's Reflection Disturbed

    Foliage in transition, green to red to brown. It overlooks its reflection. But, alas, it is blind in the manner of my senses. It cannot appreciate its own loveliness; How its color captivates my eyes; the peace created when the breeze ruffles its leaves. Its reflection disturbed adding dimension. How sad it cannot appreciate its own beauty. Yosemite National Park, Merced River. OCT 2014

  • A Deceiving Role

    A Deceiving Role

    A contrast, the juxtaposition of the ephemeral with the lasting. But, which is really ephemeral? That which appears lasting is eroded, one grain at a time, by that which appears ephemeral, until it is eventually washed away. Meanwhile, that which appears epemeral rushes to sea, evaporates and returns to erode again. Yosemite National Park; APR 2016

  • Cascade on Yosemite Creek

    Cascade on Yosemite Creek

    This little cascade is normally dry. But the snow melt left Yosemite Creek running high, fast and loud, creating a channel bringing this cascade alive. Yosemite National Park; APR 2016

  • Roiling & Thundering

    Roiling & Thundering

    At the juncture of Illouette Creek and Merced River, the waters roiled over the cascades making whitewater that looked like a giant head of cauliflower and sounded like thunder. Yosemite National Park, APR 2016

    Rainbow at Base of Lower Yosemite Falls - Perspective 1

    The sun cast a brilliant rainbow in the mist at the base of the Lower Yosemite Falls. Though other colors could be seen, the sun highlighted the red-orange spectrum casting a golden glow over the rugged landscape. Yosemite National Park; APR 2016

  • Ice Crystals on the Merced River

    Ice Crystals on the Merced River

    Yosemite National Park, Dec 2013. This image was taken in Yosemite Valley at a place where the Merced River appears to flow lazily. Its laziness is deceptive. You needn't travel far upstream to appreciate the speed and power of this river as it tumbles over Nevada Falls then Vernal Falls as well as the cascades between and below them. But here, at this spot, on this winters day, the river seemed still and was partially frozen. The ice crystals on the rocks look like a collection of white snowball cakes while the mountains and snow covered trees provide a fairy land of reflections on the glassy river. Its peace and serenity belying the strength of the river like the tenderness of a mother coddling her child. Awarded: Honorable Mention, Sacramento County Fair, May 2014

  • An Autumn Vignette

    An Autumn Vignette

    The stands of Aspen splash their autumn gold across the mountainside, overshadowing the small and mundane. Yet, it is I, the small and mundane, finding anchor among the rock and debris, making the river bank come alive with autumn color. Yosemite National Park, CA; OCT 2014
