Yosemite Water

Yosemite in the spring means water, and often lots of it. Yosemite has about a 90% snow pack this year, which is better than most of the Sierra Nevada. There are waterfalls in places I haven't seen in years. Horsetail Falls, an ephemeral on the east flank of El Capitan, was the heaviest I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of it. I also didn't get any photos of Yosemite Falls this time. It was beautiful as always, but I have enough according to my wife.

Here is the top of Bridalveil Fall from its parking lot.

Bridalveil was really running strong, to the point that it was sending a steady stream down the paved walkway to the viewing pad. Here is my wife standing in about 6 inches of running water at the viewing pad. Normally mist is the only water here.
