I feel like Jim having driven 2,000 miles this week. I found myself on the west side of Yosemite for the first time in more than a year, and I started by hiking into the Mariposa Grove. All comments welcome!

I skied to where I thought the moon would start going down at the vertex of lines, and then ran around and adjusted as it approached the mountain. When driving home the moon had at least an hour until it actually set. All comments welcome!

False Moonset
We got a few inches of snow west of 395, and minimal snow to the east. I wandered around for a bit, and the fresh snow on the lake looked like a good target. All comments welcome!

Glimpse of Spring
Some pre-storm Sierra Waves were forming to the north, so I decided to check this one from different angles since it stood pretty firm in its position. All comments welcome!

I have a number of Barrel Cacti marked in my GPS for a cloudy morning like this. This was after a 2 hour nap between night and day shoots. All comments welcome!

I woke up at 2 in the morning and noticed a lenticular cloud through my window, so I wandered out to see what I could do with it. All comments welcome!

We practiced spending two nights away from our very needy cat, so we headed to Alabama Hills as a stopover for Death Valley. The image is three layers (20 stacked images of the sky, a light-painted image for the boot, and a very long exposure at low ISO for the rest of the ground). All comments...
I scouted this image in January, and I knew it was going to be technically difficult. I tried the foreground three different ways (light painted, long exposure, and blue hour) and blue hour was the only one that stitched well. 7 vertical 20mm images for sky, 7 for ground (2 each for focus...
Weather has been remarkably clear, so I've been shooting small scenes. Here's a sampling of my favorites. All comments welcome!

Convict is pretty smooth (I wandered far enough from the parking area to get away from where people threw rocks, ice chunks, etc to test the ice). I found this small bump in the ice at sunset, didn't like the conditions and returned for sunrise. All comments welcome!

Ice Knot
Jeffrey inspired me to spend more time in washes so I spent a whole day wandering around in one. All comments welcome!

#1 Polished and Fractured
#2 Desert Gold
My favorites
#1 Flash Frozen: I find a little island with multiple seasons represented delightful.
#2 Deep Freeze at Hot Creek: First major snowshoeing of the season brings me joy. The subtle colors worked better for me than an explosively colorful sunrise.
#3 Hard Life: Sometimes the clouds...
Doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere for a little bit. Two images from Christmas Eve and Christmas. All comments welcome!
