I will attempt to catch up in the next day or so. I will say my photo skills are a bit rusty so not to many great shots from the trip though I have a few that look OK. This is one of the best in my opinion, not because of my great photo ability but simply because of natures beauty partially captured here. #1387911

Thanks Teresa the weather was perfect and you with great temperature and calm. A very nice day to sit by this lake.
Thanks Tony always means a lot. Just wish I could have captured more with this quality.
Debbie this is literally a few steps from the road. Parked on a little pull out area and crossed the road and a few steps off the edge on the other side. Not the standard scene from Yosemite, but I liked it for the beauty even more than the fails and Half Dome. I must say the falls are spectacular in person though.
Thanks Joan. LOL This shot came out great but the rusty part was getting the camera on wrong settings and forgetting little things that are normally automatic for me. This was the second day with the camera and I was a bit better, but still not producing the percentage of good shots that I am used to. By good I mean in focus with a correct exposure not necessarily a fine photo.
Thanks so much Leslie - I still give mother nature a lot of credit for this one, but I sure appreciate your kind words.
Thanks Rita I always love those wows. It was a great day and Sherry and I were both impressed by the power of the water moving down the mountains. That was really impossible to capture in a still, but this calm lake was easy. This is all snow melt and there was still a lot of snow and some ice in places so while I did not touch the water I bet it is barely above freezing so your cold assessment is right on. #9485293

Thanks Dale. Just wish I had taken the video camera as the power and volume of so much water is very hard to capture in a still. The sounds were incredible too.
Thank you so much Beth. I should post some of the ones that really do show how rusty I was. I am used to shooting almost every day though much of the time I don't get anything worth posting. I shot almost nothing for 6 months and believe me I feel fortunate to have captured a shot as well as this one turned out. #9488286

Thank you Jodi. As close as Yosemite is to us, this was our first time there. Well worth the trip. I have not been to glacier either and want to give that a try. I have been to Yellowstone several times but Sherry has never been so that is on the list also.
Wow 75 rolls is a lot! I only shot 15 rolls in Africa over two weeks. Digital does allow me to shoot more now though as you shoot for free once you have the equipment. #9497817
