Merced River, Yosemite Valley At a bend in the Merced River, an early snowstorm helps show off the orange and yellow colors of the fall leaves. I was fortunate to be in the valley for this early November storm, which only lasted a few hours. Almost no one else was around--an unusual experience in Yosemite Valley.
Leidig Meadow, Yosemite Valley This is another view of the fall snowstorm clearing from Leidig meadow. The clouds were breaking up, creating wonderful chiaroscuro amidst the clouds and mist.
