Snow Snow Snow

Anyone who lives on the west coast has noticed the extreme abundance of snow that we have been receiving. Luckily we are currently on our winter tour so we have been able to enjoy the snow in the mountains, over the desert and even on a few coastal ranges. This particular image was no easy one to get. We had been driving around Yosemite Valley, where hundreds upon hundreds of trees had fallen due to the heavy low elevation snow that they are no used to. Around every turn we had to stop while work crews moved the trees covering the road only to go around the next corner and find another one down. Thats when I decided that we were going to go to this previously scouted area and wait for the light, rather than check out a few other areas and take the chance of hitting another downed tree. As we sat here and watched the sun rise, I knew that it was a good decision. Now, off to The Grand Canyon!
