When I took the boat out Friday to check it out, after 10 months on letting it sit, I almost fried the motor. The impeller needs replacing, wasn't pumping water. So that killed the fishing trip.

Instead My wife and I drove into Yosemite. A far better choice.

I must have took over 260 pictures in there.

Here's a couple pictures from the trip.

My Bride and I

This was at the end of the day and I was going to leave after this picture.

So I crawled into the car to leave when my wife exclaims "Look at that".
The moon over Bridalveil

Here's a zoomed in shot over the falls.

Had a great day (Even if I didn't fish ;) ) Yosemite is a great place in winter time...

Happy new years everyone !!!

That last picture is absolutely surreal. I really think you could make a chunk of change off that photo...Hope you dont mind if I use it for my wall paper?

Hey Slim

Excellent photo's of Yosemite. I was on my way up there last week but got turned around for not having chains. I've taken alot of photo's this year of Yosemite but I was shooting in B&W.... Just like the old days when I took an Ansel Adams course in Yosemite Valley.
I now live 50 minutes from Yosemite and try to get up there at least 2 times a week during the early spring and winter time. But I'm not a cold weather person so I limit the number of times in the winter.

What kind of camera are you shooting with. Do you remember what speed and aperature settings. Actually it should tell you if you go into the histogram.

Once again, great photo's
