Description
The lower pool of Mirror Lake, Yosemite National Park is filled to near overflowing from the swollen Tenaya Creek, supplied by record snowpack during the previous winter of 2016-2017 in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
This photo was taken on June 1st, 2017 in the afternoon.
To the right is the base of iconic Half Dome, which rises nearly 4,000 feet from the valley floor. On the left side is a rock formation over 2,000 feet tall near the North Dome peak.
It is my very first visit to this spectacular scenic gem in Northern California. Absolutely awe-inspiring... God’s creation is beyond magnificent.
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me; My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold.” Psalm 18:2, Amplified Bible

This image may be ordered as a print for a beautiful addition to your wall décor for home or office, and/or as a gift idea for the travel or nature enthusiast.
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
