Grinnell Lake Starburst, August 2014.

above starburst picture brought to mind this photo from last summer. I think I haven't posted it before. Heading up to Bishop Past on the east side, with the early morning sun creeping across the top of the Inconsolable Range. Aperture Peak and Mt. Agassiz in the center ahead. Bishop Pass is hidden behind the ridge right of Mt. Agassiz.


Bishop Pass Ahead

Was in Sequoia yesterday looking for some bears, found a total of SEVEN. Four bear cubs, and three adults. This family I've been following since last July. Pretty awesome to see the babies growing and the mother being back to normal size. Last year these bears were born.

First spark of warmth on a chilly morning along the Muir Trail. Near Sunrise Creek in Yosemite. July 2010.

A brief moment of morning light on Mt. Stanford and Gregorys Monument from north of Forester Pass - 30 minutes later we were covered in inches of hail. Mid July 2014, when the monsoon was coming in strong.


Before the storm towards the southwest
