Yosemite Night and Day

Sunday I drove to Yosemite just for the night. Just like last year in June I went to capture a Lunar Rainbow or Moonbow. This time I went in May on the night after the full moon. The difference from the two months June and May, May has a lot more water coming out of the waterfalls.

Here is a Shot that I took from the pathway in Cooks Meadow parallel to the Merced River. It was almost 2:00 AM and the Moonbow was starting to disappear.

This video was shot on the same day May 11, 2009. It is a 360º view from the highest point on Sentinel Dome.

Here is a game for everyone to play… Hiding go seeking. Kathlene will do the hiding in plain site, and we will go seeking for her.

Look at the picture and correctly identify tiny Kathlene by the Ginormous stick in the ground. The first person to correctly identify her location and or position wins a prize. For a consolation prize the first person to correctly identify my location and or position wins a kick in the shorts.

**prize award is subject to change at a moments notice. No real claim and or should be made to the realization of actually winning a real tangible prize.
***consolation prize will be delivered promptly and swiftly upon completion of the game.

Even though you got to enjoy Kathlene’s post of my ballerina impersonation, we did do other stuff besides dance around on slick rocks. The sky was clear, the weather was warm as long as you stayed out of the shade. There were several feet of snow in the meadows and on the valley walls. It was a great weekend in Yosemite National Park. We had such a great time we decided to go back this weekend.

We will be staying in this little B&B in Mariposa. As Kathlene described it “It’s like being at grandma’s house”. I am not sure if she is referring to my Grandma Howard or to her Grandmother. It is all the same you feel warm safe and comfortable. If you find yourself going to Yosemite, I would stay at least one night at Poppy Hill Bed & Breakfast in Mariposa, CA of Hwy. CA-140.

As I said before Kathlene and I had a great time in Yosemite. We spent Saturday on the valley floor. On Sunday we went up to Badger Pass ski area. We attempted to go snowshoeing. We got a late start so we only shoed for a few hours.

I think between Kathlene and I we took more photos in two days at Yosemite then we did the 10 days we were in Guatemala. I think our final count was 1500+ Photos. I think I had one or two images turn out OK.

If you would like to purchase the complete K&K trip to Yosemite National Park, we will be selling them for the one-time low price of $29.95 + shipping and handling.

Yosemite Fall (no, I did not forget the "s")

Can you spot the surefooted mountain goat?



I couldn't find him either...

All I saw was Kirk landing on his caboose.
