I had the privilege of spending my 2022 Thanksgiving in one of my favorite places in the world - Yosemite National Park. Despite sleeping in a tent in literally sub-freezing temperatures, it was just as magical as every other time I've been.⁠

Despite having been two times previously, the thing that I had never been able to capture were clouds in any of the scenes. It was as though the clouds were intentionally eluding me, like a marble on a slick, unlevel floor - constantly fleeing my arrival to the park.⁠

This trip seems to be much of the same - that is, until the last night when cotton candy clouds showed up during a dramatic sunset behind Half Dome - my favorite of all the spectacles within Yosemite.⁠

Patience and perseverance finally paid off, and it did so in abundance!⁠
