Fairview Dome

For the whole series the tag is 2012101920tuolumnetrip -- you can use the slideshow feature to flip through the images. (I don't have the photos of Chinese Camp and Knight's Ferry done yet).

I'm 2 for 4 in identifying wildflowers so far, although i'm certain of the families of both uncertain flowers, and would be comfortable even naming the genus of both (a goldenrod and a buttercup).

I've delighted in rereading and skimming through The Geologic Story of Yosemite National Park as i identified peaks and geologic features in the photos.

If you prefer looking at photos here, i offer behind the cut a bakers dozen photos.
