These were taken last Sat morning just before I left the park.
Missed crossing paths with Gdanmitchell & beerguy (Doug).

#1 I think Dan was in the meadows in the late afternoon for this one.
I like the lighting in gDans better, but the mist here is nice

#2 A different perspective for me. Yes, that is a photographer in the meadow, lower right.

#3 This was probably taken from where Doug's tripod was
I have a tighter crop of this but wanted the trees at right

Hey Dan,

What a wonderful place! My favorite here is #1. I like how you captured those cottonwoods with that mist.

Really like the 1st, Dan. Love the soft lighting mood before the sunlight reaches the valley floor, and the rising mist is wonderful.

The conditions in the first shot - ground fog over the meadow - are among my very favorite in the Valley starting this time of year. Lucky you! I missed this on my last visit. :-)

And, yes, I was there on Saturday and again on Sunday afternoon. My favorite shot was on Sunday IIRC. Those cottonwoods are quite something.

Thanks all
I had decided to explore various spots around the valley floor, particularly in the AM. Should be fun times next visit next month.

Nice series Dan - I am partial to the first shot with an interesting perspective on the valley floor and the rock walls behind it. I like the way the mist imparts a sense of mystery to the mood of the shot and a nice frosting to the foliage on the valley floor.
