This is the Yosemite March 2017 Instagram Monthly Review. To say March kicked off waterfall month in Yosemite National Park would be an understatement. Winter storms persisted throughout the month so there was a nice mixture of snow and rain at lower elevations that ensured the waterfalls would receive high volumes from March through at least July this year. 2017 will truly be the year of the Yosemite waterfalls! In March we also received a visit from Brazilian YouTube star Rebecca Barison. You can subscribe to her YouTube channel here. Rebecca’s Instagram is filled with exciting images from around the world.

Photographing with a camera phone was once frowned upon as a lazy way out of making an image. With advancing technology, these phones are becoming more integral in everyday “outdoor” life.

This is the Yosemite February 2017 Instagram Monthly Review. Yosemite National Park was inundated with winter storms throughout the month of February causing major damage to two main roadways leading into the park on Highway 41 and inside the park on Big Oak Flat Road from Highway 120. Highway 41 repairs are ongoing with delays into Yosemite. Highway 120 currently has no access into Yosemite Valley. Make sure to contact Yosemite National Park for updated road conditions before visiting. Upon arriving in Yosemite Valley, visitors were greeted with snow covered cliffs and booming waterfalls throughout the month of February. As a result we were able to capture many majestic scenes including Half Dome and Yosemite Falls. Water saturated the meadows of Yosemite Valley, and I was able to capture several reflection shots.

This is the Yosemite January 2017 Instagram Monthly Review. Winter storms continued to reinvigorate Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada with several feet of fresh snow. Yosemite waterfalls have been full since November, and we are still anticipating a huge spring waterfall runoff. Finally, it appears the California drought may have ended. This is welcome news for us all!

This is the Yosemite December 2016 Instagram Monthly Review. Winter returned to Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada in full force in December as 2016 ended with a bang. Warmer temperatures brought mostly rain to the lower elevations as storms pummeled California. Elevations above 10,000 feet received a steady dose of snow. The realities of climate change prove although all precipitation is welcome, much of the rainfall turned into runoff before it could be captured for future use. However, most Yosemite waterfalls have been full since November, and we are anticipating a huge spring waterfall season.

The light at Hetch Hetchy was exquisite today. . . It’s my goal to share more of Yosemite with you from more locations than anyone else. Every adventure allows me to find new ways to show different perspectives. Yosemite never gets old & I enjoy the challenge of telling new stories every single day. I hope you enjoy them too. #yosemite #hetchhetchy #photography #yexplore

Even the dead trees add Fall Color to Yosemite Valley. Many people are alarmed by all the dead conifers in the Sierra Nevada. The @latimes reports there are now 102M dead trees and counting since this 5+ year drought began. I may be in the minority but I do not yet see this as catastrophic. We have historically overpopulated forests that need natural thinning. I believe this is nature’s way of correcting the anthropogenic imbalances in the Sierra from past forest practices. Time will tell. #yosemite #halfdome #fallcolors #fallcolours
