Second run of poppies and Hyte Cove

Bridalveil Fall

My favorite spot overlooking the poppies. I went back to this spot a couple times and really enjoyed the view and feel of being this far above the road.... It was a pain to hike all the way up there with the gear..

More poppies

I went hiking with Daniel the other day to Hite Cove. Its a really steep canyon with a trail back into the cove. the flowers were beautiful. We didnt hike the whole thing but i think Kry and I are going to go back with some other friends and finish it off this week.

California Poppies

The California Poppies in the Merced River Canyon and blooming right now. It is one of the most amazing flower concentrations I've ever seen. The whole canyon seems to be on fire.

Valley View and Horsetail Fall

I tried to photograph horsetail fall last night. The clouds came in and covered the sunset so it never turned red. This is what I got though.. Which is still cool but nothing like it could have been.

If it had turned out right the water would glow red... maybe next time.

Horsetail and Birds

Our first trip into the valley (two weeks after we got here) we just drove up to Tunnel View to see the valley again and i shot a couple frames... here they are.
