Yosemite - May 2012

[Tyler]

Went to Yosemite last weekend with a good friend of mine… weather was beautiful, dogwoods in full bloom, and it was surprisingly un-crowded given all the passes just opened and it was Mother’s Day weekend… a few of the views…

The waterfalls were flowing…

Dogwoods were blooming…

Bees were busy…

Used to call the dandelion fluffs “fairies” when I was a kid…

Flowers reaching for the sun…

Children were wading…

Gnarly tree, dude…

El Capitan to the left, Bridalveil Falls to the other left…

Catching a rainbow…

Luckily it’s not flooded…

First viewpoint at Glacier Point…

Second viewpoint at Glacier Point looking out at Half Dome…

Half Dome…

Back down on the valley floor as the sun started to set…

If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend getting up there before the schools get out and the place is crawling with visitors… no matter how many times I visit Yosemite, there is always something new and wonderous to see… get out and git ya some! B)

I thank you for sharing this, either you have one heck of a good camera or you are just awesome. I am guessing it's both.

Wish I didn't live so far away. All we got around her is sand and palm trees.

You take some of the richest and most intense pictures... Great Job... There are only a few things I miss about California and Yosemite is one of them... Rich

Very nice photography Tyler! Try not to laugh too hard when you see my "from the saddle" trip report as we shot through the park at light-speed.

Thanks for taking the time to do it right. My Dogwood picture looks like this: :lol:

I just saw your thread and was about to look at your pics! Sometimes you have the time to stop and get the shot... sometimes you don't! You could probably edit that photo a bit and make it look kinda cool...

Nice work Tyler. Living an hour from the Hwy 120 entrance, I should get up there more than the half dozen times a year I do. Thanks for reminding me that I'm over due for another visit.

 

[puppychow]

Thanks for rubbing it in.

I have only been to Yosemite once and I never made it to the valley floor. I just scooted across 120 like I had something better to do....

... oh wait maybe it was someone...

Thanks for taking me along through your pictures, sure is a nice break from work, since I haven't been riding for crap these days...

 

[Old Michael]

Great photos, Tyler Risk.

You've an eye, you do.

(But, I noticed you wuzn't wearing motorcycle duds. Gettin' soft?)

You know Tom, if you were to Photoshop in a pic of Eva Mendes naked you could still "save" this photograph. jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

Don Stanley, YOU sir, ...are a visionary.

 

[Bungie]

Wow.

I've wanted to get to Yosemite for years and every time I see pics like those I miss a place I've never been to.

Very nice Tyler! I see a spring time ride coming my way.

Great pictures Tyler, I love Yosemite, I remember going there as a kid on my family vacation. I would love to ride through on my bike and spend time there.
