Bears, butterflies and flowers. And that’s just the first two photos! ~WaterGirl

When Yosemite announced plans to reopen this summer, my wife jumped online and found a room at the Yosemite Valley Lodge. They would normally be sold out just 5 or 6 weeks ahead, but this year has cancellations… so a 4-day trip was our consolation prize for not going back the to the Alps for 2 weeks. Last year we had big plans in Yosemite – we hiked up Half Dome (I should do another post for that). This year, we were just happy to go there and hike again.
On the way there, we drove down Glacier Point Road to Bridalveil Creek Campground, which was closed, but we were there to hike along the creek through the mixed forest and meadow. To take pictures of butterflies, one must walk softly and carry a big lens! (OK, my camera is a micro four-thirds, so the lenses are smaller than average. I have really enjoyed using the 40-150mm – 2x crop factor, so 80-300mm in full frame terms – in the last year or so, after years of ignoring it!)
