At an impromptu stop in California’s Yosemite National Park, Kathryn captured this incredible shot of Half Dome shining golden from a beautiful alpenglow and framed by trees.

Mist rises from Ahwahnee Meadow on a cold winter morning in Yosemite National Park, creating a dreamy blue scene.

There’s still time to enjoy snow-dusted views and winter activities before warm weather arrives. Photo courtesy of Douglas Croft. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 2/11/16.
