ID, Anyone?

This is from a meadow in Yosemite (I’m sorry to say I don’t know the various names of meadows there. Shame on me, yes?) I haven’t a clue what this tree is, but the buds were pretty with the frost on them. Anyone out there know what this is from this bit of a tree? I’m guessing it’s rather hard to identify this way, so I’m probably silly to ask.

Good Morning!

Happy Saturday to one and all.

I’ve now started reviewing (and working on) my March, 2014 photos. It’ll be so much fun to see what’s in there: I don’t believe I’ve revisited some of these since I downloaded them, due to busy times. March 1st had us in Yosemite, since Dan had a photo in the Yosemite Renaissance exhibit (as he does again this year). Even when in Yosemite I tend to pull out the macro lens. I just can’t help myself! I’m hoping someone will take one look at this and tell me what tree this is. Surely somebody out there knows …?

Just a Couple of Yosemite Shots

As Dan and I were enjoying a nice brunch following my four oboe students of the morning we were talking about Yosemite and the ways we each frequently see things with our cameras: sometimes it’s in a similar fashion, but more often than not it’s differently. Much of the time I’m crouched on the ground, or using the macro very close up to something while he’s capturing some stupendous and unbelievable “all of it” shot. (He amazes me!) The conversation caused me to look back on Yosemite photos I have that I’ve simply not had time to work on, and I came upon these two which I like.

Now I want to start looking more at last year’s Yosemite work, but I’m trying to be a good girl, sticking to an orderly manner of sorting month-by-month. We’ll see if I manage to stick to this!
