Tunnel View of Yosemite Valley with Half Dome & Bridalveil Falls.
I visited Yosemite National Park last spring for the first time since I was a young child, and was absolutely awe stuck by its beauty. I couldn't put my camera down...I wanted to capture everything my eyes were seeing. This was, by far, my favorite place to be on that trip: Tunnel View, a very popular place to view the valley.
My Valentine is taking me back to Yosemite this weekend so that I can see it covered in snow for the very first time. I can't WAIT!

Ansel Adams is itching to get up out of the dirt and have a shoot-off with you because you are clearly a threat to his legendary reputation.

If little m and Seattle Miles (dene') say you are a good person----then that is enough for me to come visit your work. This is gorgeous Dawn! I am hoping to take my family this way in the summer months.

Hi McCoy! Aww. Well that's so sweet--thanks! You should come--it's beautiful, but super crowded, in the summer. I just went a few weeks ago, and it was cold but amazing with no crowds! :-) So nice to meet you.

OMG----the summer months would be the worst time......you are right. Not good-----don't like crowds. I am always trying to find remoteness in the Olympics, near where I live in Washington state!

Yeah, this pic was taken at the beginning of last May. Not even all the roads were open yet & it was CRAZY. It's hard to appreciate how amazing it is when you're fighting through crowds to see it. Freezing February was lovely though.

That's it...too many cool people live in WA. I need to get myself up there!

Washington has been my home all of my life and it never gets old. There are lots of good people here and the landscape photography opportunities are seemingly endless! Well take care of yourself and have a wonderful weekend :)
