Fluidr / Yosemite Falls Reflecting Pool by Jim Patterson Photography

On a moon lit night, I photographed Yosemite Falls as storm clouds streaked by. The starry sky can be seen through the moving clouds as the entire landscape is reflected in a flooded meadow in Yosemite Valley.

With the state of California (and others) experiencing extreme drought conditions, I wonder about many things, including what spring will be like this year in Yosemite Valley. How long will the waterfalls run before they dry up?
