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.
Storm Clouds Above Leidig Meadow, Yosemite Valley The sun has begun reaching through the snow clouds, lighting up the trees at the north edge of the meadow.
El Capitan and the Merced River, Yosemite National Park Although it doesn’t have the intensity of the aspen that can be found in the eastern Sierra, Yosemite Valley does have interesting fall color from the maples and other trees. This is one of my favorite spots to catch reflections of El Capitan in the Merced River, taken from the south bank in early October. The river flows quietly here and creates these mirror like images in the fall.
