SE: Part II of Yosemite

Welll... sometimes sunrise comes too early. We didn't make it to the Tunnel View lookout as early as planned (totally underestimated how very, very far apart everything is!), but we still managed to capture some beautiful morning light.

Except those darn airplanes! Kinda hard to do a long exposure when there are airplanes messing up your frames! I tried my best to fix the sky & this is how it turned out:



The sun rays were pretty spectacular. The pic below features Bridal Veil Falls.

The afternoon sun was pretty harsh; my landcapes from this time are bright and scratchy. DMA and I spent some time along the river, flirting with a group of Stellar Jays.

We took a little "hike" to Yosemite Falls (that is.... if you call a paved trail with a ...whoa... 30% grade a hike...) Ok, Northwest snobbery aside, it was pretty cool to be so close to something so massive.

We decided to ditch the park during the extremely harsh sunlight hours & headed to the town of Mariposa. Saw some cool sights along the way...

And we made it back to hotel before midnight. Nice! Thus ends day 2.
