ColorChallenge - ThursdayGreen - More from Yosemite National Park, California
I recently returned from a trip to Yosemite and, as per usual, I took hundreds of pictures that will probably never be seen by the outside world. @kalemandra's #thursdaygreen #colorchallenge is the perfect place to share at least a few of my shots. Enjoy!
Behold, Yosemite Falls, one of the three iconic landmarks in the valley. It is the 6th highest waterfall in the world at just over 2400 feet. There is the upper section that you see in my shot then cascades and a lower section hidden behind the trees. My son and I attempted to hike to the top which I will feature in a future post.
So many greens to take in! Pine trees mixed with dogwood and tender new maples leaves...gorgeous!
This an an abstract of the most overlooked place in the park, in my humble opinion. Fern Spring is a tiny set of cascades that is absolutely sublime. I did do a little extra editing on this shot and I think it has the flavor of a Monet.
The dogwood trees were in bloom and that sends me into this overly excited state which can be quite embarrassing. These trees are so delicate and graceful. They light up the forest with their blooms in the shadows of the massive pines...so breathtaking.
I will close my post out with my favorite meadow. The spring grass is so vividly green and the granite peaks make it seem otherworldly. So many wonderful, peaceful memories here.
Be on the lookout for more from Yosemite in the days to come!

All photos are so beautiful that I can't say which one I like the most. However your photo you edited is outstanding and has the flavour of impressionism.

You are so kind! There is an amazing site at every turn so it's pretty hard to go wrong. I will be doing a few more posts so you can get a better idea of what the valley looks like. Have you ever visited Yosemite?

Thank you! I have found no place like Yosemite and am so glad it is only a short drive away.
What a beautiful creation of God, all arranged neatly, should we be grateful because we can still enjoy.
The beauty is unreal. I'm not so sure about it being arranged neatly, the landscape is constantly changing which adds to the wonder that is Yosemite. I am grateful, indeed!
