Yosemite is one of my favorite places to explore and photograph. It's where my passion for hiking exploded two decades ago, it's where I had my first job in the outdoors, and it continues to draw me back across all its spectacular seasons.
I took this photo as fall changed to winter, with an early snowstorm. Fresh snow in the valley is always a treat (and a short-lived one!), but much less common is to see this snow coupled with the leaves still on the trees -- and even with a hint of fall color! -- is such a feast for the eyes. The scenes feel so much more uplifting with the extra splash of color and life.
My favorite way to photograph these storms is to be there for the entire time, and to just stroll around aimlessly with my camera looking for magic moments and inspiration. I certainly found that here! This photo features the picturesque cliffs on both the north and south walls of the valley draped in ethereal fog, a snowy meadow with a thin layer of ephemeral mist, and of course some blue skies and sunshine. It's an easy scene to want to look at every day! Fortunately, now we can do just that :)
