I was already set up to shoot photographs of the Golden Gate (in this wonderful, luminous, hazy morning light) when I spotted this flock of seabirds flying across the Bay.

I spent several days in the Young Lakes area of the Yosemite Sierra Nevada back-country on a solo pack trip late last year. Although Young Lakes are very popular during the summer season and can be reached by a one-day roundtrip hike, this I was alone at the lake on a quiet evening following an afternoon of rainy weather.
