High Sierra Topix

Me and James (Exavius) went to Kings Canyon NP Saturday morning to see what we can capture. We hiked a "mainly flat" 1.5 mile round trip at Zumwalt Meadow. There was a couple of boulder fields that we had to climb up/down (remember I can't bend my knees), so it was a bit tricky at times, but I made it. Not quit ready to backpack though. He was nice enough to give me the photos of me so I posted some of those too.

Ansel Adams?

Trying to "get the shot", I had to climb up a rock to capture this. In the process of doing that a banged my "knee"...but I got the shot!

The doe looks like she is growling at you. Thank you.

Could have been, she had two fawns. There was another family close by and they had a small dog.

"but I got the shot! " - Pricelsss !!

Beautiful images Mike, thanks for sharing them with us.

Great shots, Mike. Glad to see you're out and about.

Beautiful shots, Mike. Thanks for sharing!

Nice Mike.
On the last shot is that smoke in the sky coming in from the west?

Yep, probably from the fire since this was due west.


-Thanks for looking!

All right Mike! Great to see you get out and about (esp across that terrain), and come back with photos like that!

Awesome Mike!

Next time you come through, stop in at the Grant Grove VC and say "Hi".
