Photo of the Week: 20 April. April 20, 2015. While the majestic peaks surrounding Yosemite Valley draw most of the oohs and aahs from visitors for good reason, of course one of the architects of the environment, the Merced River, often garners much less attention. Still wild after all these centuries, the Merced continues to rush through Yosemite on its way to California’s Central Valley, delighting us in its passage. In some places, it is serene; in others, wild and tempestuous. On this site, you’ll fin...

Photo of the Week: 13 April. April 13, 2015. A front brought fairly heavy cloud cover to the Sierras on one afternoon of my recent trip to Yosemite National Park, preventing any warm afternoon light from reaching El Capitan, Clouds Rest, Half Dome, or the Cathedral Group. But if I found the absence of light somewhat disappointing, I found the sight of a growing number of brown trees in the valley below Tunnel View far more disturbing. Photo of the Week: 06 April.

Photo of the Week: 23 March. March 23, 2015. Though late afternoons at Tunnel View rarely disappoint, I often find myself starting my days at there, as well. It’s rarely as busy in the morning, and the overlook can offer many splendid opportunities. Especially when clouds gather over the mountain tops and the rising sun is able to find its way through whatever cloud cover hovers along the horizon. Then it can be magical, seeing the sun paint the clouds. But it did make for a great start for the day.

Photo of the Week: 30 March | afkfotos.com

http://www.afkfotos.com/2015/03/30/photo-of-the-week-30-march

Photo of the Week: 30 March. March 30, 2015. It’s typical Sea Otter behavior. The otter lies on its back balancing a fairly hefty rock on its chest. In its front paws, it holds a clam or mussel. That it repeatedly and aggressively smacks against the rock until its shell breaks. In Moss Landing, we’ve also watched Sea Otter dine on what’s called Fat Innkeeper Worms. A marine worm native to the area, the Fat Innkeeper Worm could we make up a name like that? Industrial pollutants illegally released into the...

Photo of the Week: 27 April. April 27, 2015. At 6:30 in the morning, I had the valley to myself. Except, that is, for the Cook’s Meadow coyote, who kept a wary eye on me as I stood quietly assessing the reflections in the river. This morning, I found a bumper crop, and they challenged and entertained me for two hours or more, including the reflection featured as this week’s Photo of the Week.

Photo of the Week: 04 May. May 4, 2015. Snowy Egrets turn heads most of the year. But during breeding season, males develop even more elaborate plumage on their chest, head and back and sport reddish-orange feet and lores (the area, normally yellow, between the eyes and the beak). The handsome fellow featured in this week’s Photo of the Week even has a reddish tinge to his eyes. Photo of the Week: 27 April. Photo of the Week: 11 May →. Welcome to afkfotos.com.

Photo of the Week: 11 May | afkfotos.com

http://www.afkfotos.com/2015/05/11/photo-of-the-week-11-may

Photo of the Week: 11 May. May 11, 2015. Approximately 3 weeks after an adult female Snowy Egret lays her eggs, between three and five chicks hatch from those eggs. They will fledge in a month or so, but during that 30 days, both adults spend most of their time searching for food for their very hungry youngsters. The chicks wait for the adults to return to the nest, and when one appears, the young birds vie for their attention and the food they carry. Photo of the Week: 04 May. Welcome to afkfotos.com.
