Tuolumne River

It's summer and time to get back up to the High Country! This is a study of one of the infinite number on beautiful scenes along the Tuolumne River in Yosemite NP.

I've collected enough photos of this place to keep me busy for the next 2 years!

Clinging

During my last trip to Zion N.P. I photographed a very tenacious little tree that decided it was perfectly OK to grow out a crack in the rocks. This isn’t that uncommon in this type of country but this one seemed especially determined.

One of the main attraction to me about this area is the vibrant greens against the bright reds. Compliments, of course, and I’m a sucker for it!
