Description
I spotted these rocks on the trail to Yosemite Falls. It was the only place I saw anything like it; made me feel as though I'd stepped back in time. I half expected dinosaurs to pop out from behind one!!

They look so alien don't they. You have a good eye.
This is so cool with the mossy boulders hiding in the shade of the trees. Dana
Wow! Nice colors, textures, and contrasting light and shadow! Beautifully done!
back to the difficult act of choosing 'representative' samples from your bursting gallery. Well, you know what I feel, from a slew of emails; but I want to sit with a few examples here. This one was a revelation to me, because while I've seen these green mossy rocks (& exposed roots, maybe) in Wisconsin & Michigan, etc, I've never seen them this big. With the dappled sunlight, they DO look like dinosaurs or dinosaur eggs; and they make the place look primeval...The red of the forest floor & the trees, and the strange shapes of the mossy protuberances make this look like a scene from the week after Creation (at least a Creation in which the earth shows up pretty fast, lol), or as if Manna fell on Yosemite instead of the Sinai. (Picture thousands of ancient Hebrews scratching their heads, thinking, "uh---god??? Like, where's our food??? It's where??? Yo-sem---where did you say???") The shadow about 2/3 of the way up the shot is the defining "anchor" for me, between land & sky. A fine composition, giving cohesion to an unruly bunch of "stuff"---which looks like a bunch of primordial animals slouched over for a morning nap. Beauty & strangeness together, and that newness that you achieve as only handful of people do, like we're seeing this place for the time in history. Fine work, Marilyn!
