Happy anniversary to one of my favorite places in the world. John Muir's "Range of Light", Yosemite, was set aside by the federal government, on this day in history, 133 years ago. This action predates the founding of the National Park Service and even Yellowstone's incorporation as the first National Park. Yosemite came before all of that, set aside under the care of California, for all to enjoy. For me, Yosemite is the place of quiet contemplation and spiritual grandeur that really threw my love of the National Parks into overdrive. It is the best example of what 'America's best idea' is and an inspiration to the world. Happy anniversary, friend. I’m so happy I got to revisit you this summer and I can’t wait to return, again and again.
“ This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. “- John Muir
- In Yosemite, you are on Western Sierra and Miwok land.
Sometimes, the second you’re done traveling, and in the absence of all that motion and purpose and fun and discovery, you immediately miss it. You crave it. You could have just gotten off the plane. You could have just unpacked your bag. It doesn’t matter. You’ll get in the car, put on some music, start to drive, and realize you’re not doing to see something new. You’re not going to see something exciting or relaxing. This is just a regular old drive to run errands or pick up groceries. It’s not one of those special drives down a winding road laden with purpose and anticipation. It’s just a regular day. And on that regular day you begin to crave adventure again.

Just wanted to say thanks for such a warm welcome back to Flickr. I've had this account for over 10 years but I've finally decided to start using it more religiously thanks to the internet not really having a dedicated forum for photography, these days. I'm overjoyed by the warm welcome and feedback I've gotten here. I've found my people!
Here's Yosemite on a cool summer night. This is a long exposure to get the light on the mountains and a short exposure to capture the sky, merged together in Lightroom.

Really, is there anything better than taking in this view in Kings Canyon National Park? It feels like this boulder was meant to be sat upon and has a front row seat to all of that pure California wilderness.

You know what’s fun about FLICKR? Getting to revisit old photos and old destinations so you can bring them into your gallery. Here’s Bryce back in December- the snowiest December the park had in 10 years, according to rangers. I was delighted by this. I don’t think I’m ever going to get over the fact that I saw this in person. The moment was perfect. The sun came out. The snow kept falling. The colors of the canyon became more and more vibrant and everything glittered under the snow and ice. Perfection.
