We went to Yosemite for the weekend, hoping to beat the tourist season (probably impossible) and do some hiking. First excitement: the woods were full of dogwoods in bloom. Dogwood is British Columbia's provincial flower; growing up we always had one domesticated in the garden, but I'd never seen...

Last month my older brother and I planned a long overdue backpacking weekend up in Yosemite, to retrace some of the steps we took 19 years ago in Tenaya Canyon. It was a fun badly-needed three days of nothing but hiking, camping, and photographing amongst granite and pines.

What was he best photo I've ever taken? I've always struggled to answer this - (1) because I have many I'm proud of, for...

It happened last night when I heard late-breaking-news about three hikers who plunged over Vernal Falls in Yosemite...

I was sitting on a chairlift at Badger Pass in Yosemite fifty feet off the ground trying not to think about the fact that it was really cold, the chair was wet and slippery, and there was no seatbelt.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on being safely inside and warm, which made me think about...
