February's Yosemite Report :)
Been up in Yosemite for a few days, I thought I'd give a quick report.
The snow is all but gone on the valley floor, The Wawona hotel is making renovations and is currently closed preparing to be invaded by dgrinners in May.
This is a shot I've been trying to get for three years or so, for two weeks every year at the end of February the sun reflects off of El Capitan just right to turn horsetail falls into a natural firefall.
Here's the Merced River with a reflection of an old friend
This is from up at Mirror Lake, it's a heck of a walk when you are loaded with camera gear, but well worth it.
Tunnel view looked a little different on Friday, this is not a B&W shot :
and one last one for Harry.. It's not a Egret but it's the best I could do
Now I need to go pass out.

Thanks Nir, I wish there were a way for you to be there. Because no matter how many pictures you see, it just dosen't compare to the real thing. The scale of the place is incredible.
Even Ansel never seemed to quite capture it all, I wonder if that's why he shot there for so many years?

And I am not going, more beach shots, but with better equipment.
I love the blk and white color shot. I got one of those at a falls up in South Carolina, by the North Carolina border, years ago.
I put it in a frame, may still have it, may not. Went back many times and could not duplicate.
love your whole set, and the fireball water.
