I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues…

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Yosemite Valley during a dry winter and photograph the Merced River in perfect stillness. Although this serene scene lasted only a morning, the reflection images I captured that day became some of my favorites. On my most recent visit to Yosemite Valley, I encountered calm, gentle water in the Merced River once again. This time, the tranquility lasted the entire day, and the river had a higher water level compared to my previous winter visit. The Valley View Vista was one of the best locations to take advantage of the conditions. While I didn’t experience the best morning light here, the beautiful reflections more than made up for it.
