Hi,

Here's a couple of shots from the floor of Yosemite Valley. Your CC's are most welcome. Thanks for looking.

Goodness gracious, I love the first picture. The combination of mountains and mist is just perfect. I loved the trees in the foreground, and on top of the mountain

Outstanding. The clear blue sky really makes it extra nice. I had a similar shot a couple years ago, but the sky was overcast and so the colors were much more muted.

These were taken a few weeks ago (Valentine day). I was very fortunate it snowed just the night before, and the Valley was blanketed with nice powdery snow. But the day was mostly sunny, and the mist rising off the mountains looked lovely. The snow is definitely beginning to melt, but then again if you go there in a month, the falls will be gorgeous, and flowers beginning to bloom. Hey, I might even join you there in a month :D Here's a site which has real time webcams of the valley which I though was pretty cool.

Thanks!

I forgot about the flowers in bloom...I'm hoping for good water.
