Tioga Travels

Photo of the Week

“Sunset on Mt. Dana” Canon 60D, EF-S18-135mm, 1/40 sec. at f/13, ISO 200

On Monday, Yosemite National Park opened Tioga Pass road for the season. This road travels through the high country of Yosemite with some of the most spectacular views you will ever see. Teri Robinson and I drove up there on Friday.

There was very little precipitation last winter and there was very little snow for this time of the year. It was too early for wild flowers at such a high elevation. We had to settle for photographing spectacular waterfalls, stunning vistas, and beautiful reflections.

Mother Nature was kind enough to stud the sky with a few clouds to make the views a bit more interesting.

Priscilla Portrait

Earlier on that same Friday, we had a child model, Priscilla, for us at Gertrude School. We’ve had her older sisters pose for us and she wanted to do it too. She was darling and tried very hard to hold her pose for the artists. She found out that sitting still for 2 1/2 hours is not easy. Still, she did a great job.
