Low clouds or fog can take an ordinary photo (if any photo in Yosemite can be thought ordinary) and take it to a higher level.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #127: Precious Moments

Amy at The World Is A Book sets us the challenge of recalling precious memories in a year that might have lack any or many. She’s shared lots of lovely photos of happy, mask-less people, something which probably features large in any of our precious memories. I’m going much further back to share the precious memory of family.
Memories, precious to me, of “my” park in Illinois and winter, which I do miss.
Wonderful memories of a memorable trip to Yosemite.
A beautiful welcome to Arizona!
And for the furthest back memory, a selfie of sorts with “my” first horse/pony. The owner brought the pony to our house during his trip around the neighborhoods and my parents paid for my photo to be taken. Happy? Oh, yeah! Much better than the ice cream truck!
Lens-Artists Challenge #125 – You Pick It!

My first thought for “You Pick It” was to share flowers from my recent visit to Descanso Gardens, but after seeing Tina’s marvelous flowers, I decided to go “white.”
On a two-day trip to Yosemite in March a few years ago, we left on a magical day where we saw clouds filled the marvelous landscape.

Who could resist a shot of this cutie on my first visit to Descanso Gardens? I’ve given it an edit to take out any other colors.
Egrets are the new white in my life.

Light + spider web= white.
And a final whiteout from my first visit to Descanso Gardens. If I lived anywhere near, I’d have a membership and be there at least once a week!

Spectacle

Not one, but two celebrities, unbeknownst to them, were captured in this shot: Half Dome on the left and Bridal Veil Falls on the right, two of the stars of Yosemite National Park.

Six-Word Saturday…with faint overtones of Ansel Adams

This is my very humble attempt at an Ansel Adams look in one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. This is for Day 2 of the B&W Challenge issued by Su and, finally, an entry in Six Word Saturday. 🙂
