Monika had the same thought I did, so here's another horsetail from another year.

Beautiful, Kyle.

Thanks again Alan for starting this. Here is mine from the day. I took this someplace along the road from Bear Tooth Highway and Yellows

Great image, Ben.

All the water around here is frozen, so it's nice to see some flowing with greenery around!
Since we're at Horsetail season, here is mine from a few years ago. The morning I arrived, I thought I'd just do a drive through the Valley & take a hike after driving so long. To my surprise, people were already set up at 10:30am on the Southside Drive. I immediately parked & talked to them. They'd seen somebody set up at 9, so figured they should set up. We chatted for a bit & I asked if they would be there for the day (yes) and if they'd mind watching my tripod (no). By then there were another half dozen people set up. I wandered along the Merced, then remembered a spot I'd seen on TPE for a possible vantage point. I headed up the hill until I was probably about 1000' up above the Valley floor and had an unobstructed view of the Falls. I knew that going down in the dark would be dicey as it was largely down a boulder-filled stream bed, but I figured it would be worth it. I went down, got my gear & headed back up. Which seemed much longer & steeper than without a pack. I was lucky & all the conditions came together (the only time that week), plus I saw a coyote on the way up and a mountain lion & a fox on my drive up the Wawona road.

Valentine's Day and waterfalls - sounds like a nice combination for the day

This is not really a named waterfall area but Paradise Creek below the Lodge and above Narada Falls is terrain so steep that it almost all looks like one big long one. These two images were taken from just above where the creek goes under a bridge on the Reflection Lakes/Packwood road.

Pile on your own water features.

Great images again, Alan.

Lots of god images here again. This is a portion of Bond Falls near Watersmeet, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Nice, Douglas. Like all the colors in this one.

Another nice set of images. I'll jump on the Yosemite bandwagon.

Nice to have the little reflection down in front.

Interesting - is this from the south side of the falls right near the Many Glacier Lodge road? I have only shot that set from the north side.

Hey Alan - Yes you are correct, this is looking northwest. There are plenty of view points from the south side, people just needs to be "BEAR-AWARE" the further from the lake one gets.
