Autumn In The High Sierra
Living in Santa Cruz, Shane and I are always lamenting the lack of seasonal change on the California Coast. In order to get our autumn color fix in, we spent the weekend in the High Sierra, around Mono Lake and Yosemite. Boy, were we in for a treat!
Although the weather was cool (it snowed on us a couple of times), the weather was mostly very clear and sunny. Photography was a bit of a challenge due to the very heavy winds which rattled not just the brightly colored leaves, but also made even the largest of trees sway.
We drove up through Yosemite, over Tioga Pass and down into Lee Vining Canyon, where we camped along the aspen-lined creek with Mono Lake just 5 minutes away. We also took a day trip down to the June Lake loop, which follows a nice canyon filled with aspen groves and a couple of meandering creeks.
Here are some of the photos I took over the weekend. Click on any picture to see a larger version. Hope you enjoy!
