Day 90/365


     To recap the second half of our day yesterday: after leaving the Redwood Forest National Park, we headed on our way down the coast to Yosemite. Along the way we stopped at an overlook that a park ranger had told us was infamous for whale sightings, and saw whales ourselves! They were further off in the distance so I didn’t have a decent-enough lens to get any discernible photos of them, but it was amazing to see all the same.

     Today’s post is from Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite National Park, California. It was a truly wonderful experience for me as a photographer to explore a park that Ansel Adams considered his own personal muse. The park was pretty spectacular, especially seeing all of the different landscapes within it, (rocky cliffs, Sequoia forests, snow-covered mountains, lakes and ponds with crystal-blue water). We even had our first bear sighting; when we were headed on our way out of the park we saw a black bear ambling along off in the distance in one of the more forested areas. We’re currently on our way to our campground in the Inyo National Forest/Sierra-Nevada mountain range. Tomorrow we’ll be visiting Death Valley National Park before heading over to Utah to Bryce Canyon to camp for the night. I’ll try to post more the next time I get the chance!
