A Seasonal Shift

As summer transitions to fall, Kings Canyon National Park undergoes a visible change. Green landscapes turn into warm autumn shades, offering a different view of the park. The ferns at the feet of the tall sequoias take on a golden hue, framing the green giants above them. Hiking along the park's trails provides a chance to enjoy the sound of leaves underfoot.

As temperatures cool down, local wildlife, like mule deer, squirrels, and the occasional black bear, adapt to the season. Fall is an excellent time for photographers and nature enthusiasts to capture the park's evolving scenery. Whether it's the lakes' reflections or waterfalls framed by changing leaves, Kings Canyon National Park in the fall presents a unique opportunity to witness nature's transformation.

End of Day at Moro Rock

Another visit to Moro Rock at Sequoia National Park this weekend, this time in the late afternoon as the haze and the falling sun transformed the skies into a beautiful mixture of oranges and yellows. There was a beautiful lateral light there as well which left half of the valley in light and the other half in shadow. Here, I made full use of my whole photography kit - from wide lenses to capture the expansive valley below, to a telephoto lens aimed at the few trees hugging the mountain ridges. The most incredible thing is that this wasn’t even quite sunset: we still made it down the valley and caught sunset at a different location afterwards.
