Doe you see anything unusual in this picture?
We were hiking past El Capitan on this day and we noticed something different. We hadn’t seen this before in our numerous trips by the mountain.
HINT – Look carefully near the middle of the photo. It has been cropped to make it larger even though it isn’t large.
Enter your answer/guess in the comments and “stay tuned” for the answer.

Small waterfall with its own understated charm
One of the major attractions at Yosemite during the spring and early summer is the abundance of impressive waterfalls. Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, Bridalveil Falls and Vernal Falls quickly come to mind.
There are numerous other, smaller and quite gentle waterfalls that trickle their way through the woods and sometimes intersect pathways that orchestrate their own magic. They are pretty and interesting in their own right as you can see above. What the picture cannot show is the pretty sound and soothing motion of the water while birds chirp in the background. It is a simple pleasure proffered to those who hike Yosemite.

It was hard to resist stopping every time we passed the Tunnel View pull off. The panoramas were stunning even if the time of day was not quite right for a photograph. To see El Capitan (mid-left) and Half Dome playing off of each other was very special.
NOTE – This tends to be one of the more crowded areas of the park when it comes to finding parking spaces. Many people want to stop to see this view and so do the tour buses. Plan to be patient and leave enough time.
