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!
