This gentler flow allows me to appreciate the fall and and the way it has sculpted the rock.
Approaching the base I can see how the granite has been polished by thousands of years of water crashing down.
I view the sculpted forms and am mesmerized by the way the water flows over the rocks and through the cracks.
As the breeze blows the drops of water, the rainbow shifts, growing and shrinking in the mist.To view more watery sights, click here.

It is interesting to see what the water has done to the rocks. It must be wonderful to watch and listen to the water falling.

Great photographs and description.
Neat waterfall and rocks it has polished! I loved the little rainbow also!
We always want to be there in the spring when the water-fall is at its thunderous best...but, then the polished rock isn't as visible because of so much water...this is really a nice trade-off. Beautiful shots!
Fantastic!
Wonderful watery photos..Yosemite is a beautiful place. The falls looks very familiar, I believe we walked to this falls. Thanks for sharing.
Great photos of a beautiful place. The water polishing the rock is so awesome. Love the rainbow.
Beautiful!
How spectactular! I Especially like those lower closer in shots--looks like the water just sliced off a whole piece of rock!
Beautiful photos of a really lovely place. Just love the last photo with the rainbow.

I was at the falls in autumn last year, too. Not quite the spectacular flow of water as during springtime! Your shots are very nice...some of them quite abstract looking, especially the close up ones. Nice work. Hope you had fun.
Cool shots, Martha. They could be used for a geology lesson--especially the close-up that shows the (much) earlier fracture that allowed the curved bit to slip down. This is the same principle that quarriers use to free up blocks of marble: create cracks and infuse them with water to "carve" the rock from its base. Of course, this is much, much prettier.
