Very nice, Aram. All of them are very nice indeed; but Yosemite Night 3960 and
Cascade Creek 4369 really caught my eye. Those two were pretty special in my
estimation. Thank you for letting us see them all.
Best regards,Peter Stevens

Subject: [LRflex] Yosemite BB (Before Bob)
We were in Yosemite the week before Bob. It has been a long time since I have
seen the water so high. The week we were there the temperatures climbed into
the mid 80’s and the snow in the high country was melting likegang busters. It
was rising about a foot a day for three days. Amazing. Many places where I
usually go to find shots were three feet under water. No shots of the three
brothers, no shots of half dome in my favorite spot... View Large if you can.
Here is a shot from by the Superintendent’s
Bridge.http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/s7/y7/Superintendent+Bridge-4127.jpg.html
Notice the tree on the right, and one just barely in view on the left. Here
is the almost same view 2 days
later:http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/s7/y7/Superintendent+Bridge-4288-Edit.jpg.html
The meadow around swinging bridge and Cook’s meadow were under water in many
places. Bob had a shot of the walkway to the river from the south road. I
have one of it almost all under water.

Creek was flowing quite
well.http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/s7/y7/Cascade+Creek-4369.jpg.htmlMy ;
favorite little tree was still gone, however. It was gone Christmas time, too.
The dogwood were spectacular. We always go the first week in May and are
either too late or too early. This time we hit peak bloom, but due to the
cloudless skies when we were there, shots were hard to find. Most were so
bright. Close-up’s were a challenge and shots of whole trees had these burned
out bright spots shining from the dark foliage. But I found a few close to the
Merced river that were lit pretty
well:http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/s7/y7/Dogwood+and+river-4007-Edit.jpg.html
The first night we were there we went out to try our luck at some star shots
and I got these:Fisheye shot from Valley

At least view this one large, please. Comment and criticism welcome. Aram
