Title: Last weekend in Yosemite and the Carrizo Plain

But the first is really outstanding, light, colors, and mist together.

Yes! All so nice.

Have you considered a vertical tilt on the second to "correct" (or even partially correct) the perspective?

There should still be some pockets of flowers to photograph along the Carrizo Plain and on the hills in the area. :)

Yosemite is aways a special place and this years wildflowers are off the chart. :)

After years of sub-par rains and snow, may you have more years like this in the foreseeable future.

Apparently this year is/has been so good for the CA wildflowers that you can see them from space...
