It Was All Yellow

Yosemite National Park, celebrated for its stunning landscapes, reveals a unique and captivating side during the fall season. In this post, my focus shifts from grand vistas to the individual marvels of the park's aspen trees, adorned in brilliant shades of yellow.

The transition of aspen leaves from green to a vibrant gold brings an extraordinary spectacle to Yosemite. These trees, with their distinctive white trunks and fluttering yellow leaves, command attention even amidst their majestic surroundings. I enjoyed capturing their intricate details—the delicate rounded leaves, the contrast of gold against the bark, and the hints of sunlight through the foliage.

Leaf Peeping Among the Sequoias

Visiting Sequoia National Park during the autumn season - or fall, as we call it here -, I was greeted by a breathtaking display of vibrant foliage. At this time of year, the landscape transforms into a painter’s palette, with hues of red, orange, and yellow splashed across the bushes and trees. The contrast between the evergreen giants and the vivid autumn leaves created a picturesque scene that felt straight out of a postcard. Although it is not a popular destination in the autumn, the coloured foliage we did find made for some really lovely images.
