Autumn Color in Yosemite - 2024

Leaves in the aspens, cottonwoods, and oak trees changed color late in Yosemite this year. My trip in the second week in November saw a profusion of yellow, orange, and even a bit of red around Yosemite Valley, and while I was expecting to spend my time photographing bare branches and carpets of faded leaves, instead I was drawn, irresistibly, to the colorful displays in the trees.

Above the fog

Oak in granite

Fallen stars

Frozen in time

Towering trio

Morning reflections

Autumn flow

Colorful reflection

Oaks in the valley

Autumn tapestry

Grand entrance

Icy bed

Autumn dream

River of ribbons

Wall of color

Waving black oak

Frosty edges

Graveyard of leaves
