A view of Upper Yosemite Falls from a meadow that was flooded due to heavy rains during the month of May, 2017.

My tripod was set in some very squishy, wet earth. The edge of the meadow was filled with water. The boardwalk for use by visitors to cross the meadow was wholly submerged in several inches of water. I wasn’t able to venture to the “island” of dry land that we see here in the bottom third.
