Winter wonderland in Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park is one my favorite places to visit and take photos. It's a 4 hour drive from where I live and has endless photography opportunities. I visit several times a year, during all seasons, but by far my favorite conditions are in winter, after a fresh snowstorm.

Today I wanted to share images from a trip when a rare first winter storm came in November allowing for a perfect combination of fall colors and fresh snow.

The snow made the Yosemite Valley chapel look like a Christmas postcard.

Half Dome reflecting in the Merced River is one of my favorite views in the valley.

After a storm snow makes these "snow pillows" from all the rocks and trees in the river. I can't wait to visit again!

These are all truly stunning images. I will never get over how magical Yellowstone is! Although I've only visited once in summer, seeing these images makes me despite to come back in late fall. Gorgeous!
