Waterfall on Cascade Creek along Big Oak Flat Road near Yosemite Valley. This is one of the most easily accessible waterfalls in Yosemite – it is just above a bridge on the road dropping into the Valley from Big Oak Flat and the creek passes right beneath the roadway.

In mid-May made a quick one-day run up to Yosemite and back to get reacquainted with the waterfalls – at that time in full spring flow – and see the Valley coming back to life again after winter. In the evening I found myself at Glacier Point watching another stunning Sierra Crest sunset. This photograph was made as the very last light touched the top of Mt. Clark.

A pole structure near the ferry landing at AT&T park in San Francisco with anchored ships in the distance. (I’m sure this “thing” must have a name – for example, “ferry bumpers” would seem to describe its function. I’ll be grateful if anyone can tell me what it is really called.)
