Lake O’Shaugnessy, at the forgotten end of Yosemite National Park, CA. What this place must have looked like before they stuck a dam at one end of the valley I can’t imagine, but even with the reservoir there it’s still pretty spectacular. It reminds me a lot of Milford Sound, in Fjordland, New Zealand- the way the cliffs drop straight into the water is just so striking. May 2007.

My active imagination tells me that Half Dome (on the left) is preaching to the other congregated formations on the right. They look as if today’s lesson is a sober one!

Vernal Falls via Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park….after leaving my husband back at the halfway mark on the trail, I continued on to see this magnificent site which literally took my breath away. I am very fearful of heights and steps and I had to climb 600 steep granite steps after a strenuous hike. The rainbow made it all worthwhile.

Rising 4,733 feet above the floor of Yosemite National Park in California, and 8,842 feet above sea level, Half Dome is one of the most recognizable chunks of granite rock in the world. It was carved by glaciers, but the upper 700-foot portion of Half Dome was high enough that it was never covered by the ice. American Indians who lived in the valley called Half Dome “Tis-sa-ack,” – the name of an Indian woman who had argued with her husband, Nangus, and had been turned to stone, according to legend. Looking closely at the flat face of the great dome, one, with imagination, can see Tis-sa-ack’s face, the tears of anguish streaming down her face. It’s thought that “Tis-sa-ack” means “Goddess of the Valley.” White people “discovered” Yosemite on March 25, 1851 by the U.S. Army. An army surgeon suggested naming the valley “Yo-sem-i-ty” to perpetuate the name of the Indians they were trying to capture. A few of the men rebelled at naming anything after the “treacherous savages.” Several of the men who began to realize the beauty of the place suggested “Paradise Valley” for its name. Bunnell asked for a vote and the name “Yosemity” was adopted, which today is spelled “Yosemite.” This name was never used by the local Indians for this valley. The name “Ahwahnee” was generally applied to most of the valley, although it is believed that it was applied at first only to the large meadow in the east end of the valley. This name is translated as meaning “deep grassy valley,” although the Army was never quite sure if it was correct.

Long before our ancestors “discovered” Elk Run Meadow, near Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park, California, American Indians told stories of the hundreds of Elk that would run through this area each year on their way to and from lower grazing lands. It was a good place for the Indians to gather meat for jerkey during the long winter, and it was a source of fresh meat in the summers. Today, the meadow is quiet. Wildflowers grow, and tourists like me can snap photos of the history we can’t see.

On a late afternoon walk through the meadows near Yosemite Lodge, I enjoyed a nice view down the valley towards the west. Wherever you go in Yosemite, there is always something beautiful to admire. On this day my attention was captured by the group of rock formations known as Cathedral Rocks, which were just beginning to be covered by some low-hanging clouds.

The High Sierra mountains of California have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world! These mountains are home to Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, and a host of lakes, rivers, valleys, gorges, meadows and incredible views. There is so much beauty in every season. I hope these photos give you a feel for the diversity and beauty of the Sierra!

Half Dome, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Sunset. There was a crowd of photographers on this bridge, like nothing I’d seen before. Must of been 20 photographers taking the same shot. Not my cup of tea. Back home in NZ I’d be lucky if I saw one other person. Nikon D200

Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Sunrise. On the bridge near housekeeping camp. After I had taken this shot a bear swam across the river, / The next photo I took was a 5 second exposure with the bear swimming through the shot. So all I got was a messed up reflection. But I did see a bear, Great reward for waking up so early. / Nikon D200
