The date was Mid-October and I was hoping to see some fall color, California style. Of course, along with all the great variety of Sierra trees and all the rest of the wonders of the Yosemite high country. While I wasn't disappointed, the weather and photographic conditions were more like summer than mid-October, lots of sunshine, warm temperatures with very few clouds and high running water. (the result of the record snowfall in the 2010-11 winter that lasted well into June and even July at elevation) While the photography wasn't quite what I expected, it was very nice, so nice that I had trouble selecting "only" 20 images for this gallery.
