Dave Wyman had the opportunity to lead a nature photography workshop for a San Francisco MeetUp group, and asked if I could help. Sure! Love to, as always. I arrived mid afternoon on Saturday, caught up with the group at Lee Vining Canyon below Tioga Pass...

Tunnel of Love? |

Next stop was the June Lake loop. A beautiful grove of aspen on Silver Lake.

Renee, through aspen, photographing reflections on Silver Lake |
Two red volcanic mountains, lit with golden afternoon light, reflecting off of Silver Lake, which itself was lit by a dark blue sky. |

Sunset at Mono Lake, South Tufa Reserve.

If you look carefully, you'll see hundreds of brine shrimp in the green waters. |
Leaves of Grass |
