Definitely not getting the digital version, just so I can deface it. Litterally.

Starlight born before I existed, reflected off a silent lake then captured in my camera.

When we look at the stars we are in-effect traveling back in time.

Yosemite doesn’t just rise around you — it reaches into you, quietly rearranging what you thought mattered.

I am 95% sure I witnessed a fatality on the north west face of Half Dome. At 445pm a hooting. Then saw what looked like a person in a white jumpsuit. Moment later saw that disappear into outcropping

I was TikTok live streaming Half Dome sunset. Fortunately at that split second I was pointing away 🧵

Some places attract you like a compass finding north.

I can not stop admiring this rock.

Sunrise yesterday in the greatest place on earth.

That down there is smoke from managed burns they are doing due to recent wet weather. Work done by people who are still doing their job without pay.

CampFlare Bot wins again

I setup the bot at 6:30 and by 7:30 I had 1 of 2 nights secured. Then I cleared that bot and set it just to watch for the 2nd night and litterally a few minutes later I got notified and went in and snagged 2 of 2

Possibly one of the greatest websites on the internet today!

Nov 1 2020 along the trail from Little Yosemite Valley to Merced Lake. A spring flows nearby which runs year round and keeps the trees and grasses nourished which grow on top of the granite. Fantastic campsite just ahead!🏕
