February 2016 was a day longer this year which meant we all got an extra day of adventure. It was also the warmest February on record. Due to rapid snow melt, January snow turned into fuller than expected February waterfalls in Yosemite National Park. Here are some of the most popular photos from our February 2016 Yosemite Instagram with 140 likes or more.

Mt. Watkins & Mirror Lake, Yosemite National Park. The experience of sharing joy inspired by nature is quite fulfilling. Over the past week I had the honor to meet, adventure, & photograph with so many incredible new ambassadors for #yosemite & #nature. #yosemiteambassador #FindYourPark #yexplore #loveyosemite

Yosemite Falls reflecting in the Merced River. Dedicating today to the Merced River in Yosemite National Park because we must protect our rivers. “We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations.” David Brower #yosemite #yosemitefalls #yosemiteambassador #FindYourPark #yexplore

Photographing with a camera phone was once frowned upon as a lazy way out of making an image. With advancing technology, these phones are becoming more integral in everyday “outdoor” life. I am currently using the iPhone 6s with an 12 megapixel camera and will share the world of Yosemite through my phone.
