Yosemite National Park Early morning fog accentuates the line of the hills on the approach to Yosemite Valley
Taft Point, Yosemite National Park At 7,500 feet, Taft Point is famous for its dramatic views of Yosemite Valley. But I was particularly struck by the sculptural look of the trees, this one growing right by the cliff edge. I thought the rock face of the far cliff made a good background to show off the tree's form.
Patriarch Grove, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, California This grove is located at the tree line high in the White Mountains. Early morning is a great time to be here, a time when I've had the grove to myself. I liked the gentle softness of this sunrise. The Patriarch Tree here is the world's largest Bridgestone.
