Calendar February

I took this picture of Horsetail Falls on the same trip to Yosemite. I was very lucky to get this shot because it only occurs during the month of February and then not every year. It is actually the setting sun reflecting off of the falls. The sun is only lined up right during February. The water has to be flowing and it doesn't always. The sky has to be clear and you have to be lined up correctly in order to get one of these pictures. I was there for 5 days and it happened once. There were literally hundreds of photographers vying for a spot to shoot from and it lasts for less than 10 minutes. There are better photos of this, but needless to say, I'm pretty happy to have this one.

This is a reflection of El Capitan in the frozen Merced River.

This is of course a reflection in the river of the sun coming up on the mountains.

Here is Half Dome above the Merced River.
