Now let's introduce you to the photos for today. The photos for today was from the 3rd day of my trip. I have photos from the Swinging Bridge Picnic Area and photos from my drive and walk toward Happy Aisles/John Muir Trail to go see Vernal Fall.
A photo on the Swinging Bridge facing Eagle Peak with a pretty great view (in my opinon) of the Merced River. Really wanted to dip my feet in the water, but the shoreline was fenced off.

I turned around on the bridge and shot a photo of Yosemite Falls and the Merced River.
I walked into the meadow and took another photo of Yosemite Falls.

Mallard Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos). Male (left), Female (right).
While shooting the landscapes, I noticed there were some wildlife around, so I switched over to my telephoto lens for some wildlife shots.
American Robin (Turdus migratorius)
Sadly, after switching lenses, most of the wildlife (birds) were gone.

After Swinging Bridge, I started driving towards Vernal Fall.

HDR composition of the Glacier Point viewing area, which is on top of the mountain you see here.
Driving along Happy Isle Loop Road, you will see a sign saying no visitor vehicles beyond this point, you can turn into a parking lot. That is where I parked before starting my walk towards the John Muir Trail leading to Vernal Fall.
