The third day in Yosemite National Park was the "money day" of our trip. Nature photography is often about being in the right place at the right time and day 3 proved that rule. There was five or six inches of snowfall overnight and although the snow started to melt with the rising sun, for a few morning hours, Yosemite was a winter wonderland. Later in the day I was also blessed by the appearance of more deer and a coyote!

This second day of our Yosemite National Park trip was plagued by intermittent rain. Although it was quite cold, it wasn’t cold enough to snow. That being said, the storm did bring some nice cloud cover–which is always a treat in the Yosemite Valley. The wildlife was also out and about and I was able to capture some "wildlife in the wild" shots! But overall, for most of the day, the weather was pretty miserable and I think that my photography reflects that feeling.
