In honor of May Day, I’m posting some pictures taken recently by a friend of mine of Yosemite Park which is just waking to Spring. I always love her pictures.
Half Dome Shrouded by Carol Teltchick
I’ve been busy the last few weeks getting a book ready for publication which I’ll tell you all about later. It’s a collaboration with two other writers: Duke Miller and Aaron Asseltine who write over at Tin Hats Blog and will be published by John’s Motorcycle Storage Unit. 
I love the feeling of tranquility in this shot. If it weren’t so cold, I’m quite sure Carol would have jumped in buck naked and swum around. 
I’m not sure what kind of flowers these are, anyone?
Happy May Day everyone! And thank you Carol for letting me post your pictures.
Saying nothing in particular 
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you.
Thanks, Jan. Getting this glimpse, I wanna go there!
Next time you go to Visalia you’ll have to make the time!
This was a lovely way to help us celebrate May Day, Jan.
I may be wrong but I think this is a dogwood tree with flowers! 🙂
Happy May Day to you! 💐
From the other comments I think you’re right.
Beautiful photos. The blossoms look like the ones on our dogwood.
Thanks Dan!
Nature is so lovely- we need her EVERYWHERE. Thanks for the pics, Jan: )
You’re most welcome! Happy May Day!
I love the pictures, and good luck with the collaboration.
Many thanks!
I think the tree is in the dogwood family. Looking forward to hearing about your book.
Thanks Allie!
Wild dogwood, anyway it looks like one that grew in the field of my childhood home. Happy May day!
Happy May Day to you as well!
oh a book; exciting! And Yosemite remains a missed opportunity I must remedy when I next visit friends who live near Walnut Creek – every time we go we say and this time Yosemite but some other west coast wonder distracts us..
Yes you must! There are two places in California that are much more powerful in person than in any picture – Yosemite and Big Sur.
I will!
Congrats on the book project Jan! And Happy May Day to you! Hi to Carol. Please tell her hello next time you see her.
Will do Charlie! Thanks.
I didn’t know you had a new book in the works! Tell us all about it.
Lovely photographs. The blooms resemble the ones on our dogwood….
Absolutely agree, Jan. Yosemite and Big Sur are always beautiful1no matter the season.
Nature seems to be in song.
