Yosemite '98
(Photos from one of my visits to Yosemite.)
(Click on these thumbnails to see a larger picture.)
The Road leading to the High Country, Yosemite Valley from the "Wawona Tunnel" view, and some sun filtering through trees in Yosemite Valley.
Photos of one of my trips to Yosemite National Park, (and also Catalina Island, and many other fabulous sights in California.) This trip was in August, 1998.

Tuolumne Meadows, Looking through trees in Yosemite Valley, and Redwoods in Yosemite.
My visit to Yosemite that August was wonderful, as usual. The "High Country" was accessable (the roads are cleared of snow in the Summer) and I was able to see Tuolumne Meadows again. The sun was bright and the sky so very blue. While the park was pretty crowded (it was August, a busy month for Yosemite) I did not find the crowds unbearable by any means.
My sister and I were only able to stay for a few days, and we stayed at the Wawona Hotel, the first time ever that we have stayed there. I have some nice pictures of it, and it is truly a lovely hotel, with lots of atmostphere and a fabulous setting. However, we got a rather dreary little room, more like a "carpeted box". I think these "carpeted box" rooms are in the minority at the Wawona, and I will make sure that I do not stay in one next time!
We wandered around Yosemite Valley, and went to the Mariposa Grove, and Mirror Lake. I even did a watercolor there, which I will shortly be putting up on this page. Even though it was August, there was enough water (because of El Niöo) flowing down the waterfalls.

Bridalveil Falls, as seen from the Bridalveil parking lot!
-
A view of the front of the Wawona Hotel.
-
Beautiful, very blue Tenaya Lake.
-
Another view of Yosemite Valley from the Wawona Tunnel View. That is my sister in the foreground, (and yes, she does have purple hair!)
-
A fat squirrel, mooching food from visitors. (This is not a good thing---never give food to Yosemite's wildlife!)
-
The view when you come out from the Wawona Tunnel (on Hwy. 41 from Fresno) is a spectacular panorama of Yosemite Valley, with El Capitan and Half Dome. But if you turn away and look behind you, you will see how lovely the rocks and trees are.
-
In the hallway outside of my room at the Wawona (second floor) I got this very pretty picture of Wawona's grounds. You will see why it is such a lovely place to lodge when you are visiting the Park!
-
Another picture of Tuolumne Meadows.
That's it for now. To see my more recent Yosemite photo collection, (plus photos from many past years) check out my the rest of this site, Bearclover.net!
(Please note: If you want to copy any of my pictures on your hard drive, or keep them for personal use, I am most pleased to share them. However, if you plan to put them on a web page of your own, I respectfully request that you e-mail me first. I will most likely not have a problem with you publishing my pictures on your site, as long as you give me credit and also add a link back to this page!)
