Picture: Merced River on a spring morning at sunrise, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California
I posted this image today because a news report mentioned that the Valley could flood this weekend. Here in Northern California, Spring rains stopped 3 weeks ago, and now we are experiencing classic California sunny blue skies. The warm weather is causing a rapid melting of the Sierra snowpack that had been sitting at 150% of normal. According to the news, the flooding should be minor, and will most likely be limited in scope to the campgrounds along the Merced River. With all our hopes and prayers of the previous few months, we can now say unabashadly, “Spring has Sprung.”
