I'm a One trick pony here with Yosemite -

#1 Dogwoods & El Cap. From a location spotted in the Winter, recognized the Dogwood leaves. First place we went to in the Spring. Taken with the Mamiya 7 on Ektar

#2 Vernal Falls from the John Muir Trail. We hiked the Vernal Falls trail, but at my BIL suggestion, returned on the John Muir Trail. Its' both safer and has different views

Take with my iPhone

#3 Glacier Point. With nice clouds the foreground, couldn't resist. Also taken on Mamiya

#4 Icy Merced. From the Fall. We were hoping for views of both the maple and dogwods as well as better light. Just forgot that the sun would be high enough.
But you can see the dogwood leaf colors nicely and the partially lit river stood out. Mamiya 7, ektar 400

#5 Fall from Sentinel Bridge. Usually shoot towards Half Dome but this was more interesting with fall colors and mood of the haze. Mamiya 7, Ektar 400

#6 Quiet Fall Reflections. For some reason, this spot all the trail West of Swinging Bridge has been a favorite for the reflections & fall colors. The storms have altered the river here and the fallen leaves on the bank gave it different look. Mamiya 7, Ektar 400

#8 Glowing Ridgeline in morning light. Had just finished up taking Half Dome reflections when I looked around & saw the morning light "kissing" the trees up high. Taken with 5DMkII

That's a great selection from Yosemite Dan. My favorites are #2, 5 and 7. Those really stand out to me.

Lovely Dan. No need to call out the Yosemiteness of it (almost all of my images were from Mammoth. The elegance of the tree in #7 is perfectly described.
