Beautiful blue sky over John Day Fossil Beds National Monument today. In the center of the image, a brilliantly colored hill topped by a pyroclastic deposit. A small white cloud drifts in the distance on the right. On the left, a tree leans into the scene, green needles spread against the sky. A fence, a road, and a grassy field appear in the foreground. A small building with an array of solar panels can be seen at the base of the hill on the left.

Large rhino-like brontotheres roam a semitropical forest. Dog-sized, three-toed horses dart between the trees. The cat-like nimravid and bear dogs stalk their prey. The climate cools and forests alter to dryer grasslands. Saber tooth cats and camels get replaced by mountain lions and deer. Paleontologists learn more about the ancient animals and environment with every new fossil they discover.

Yosemite National Park this morning.

Current view from Yosemite National Park shows the accumulation of snow from the previous storm system and a very nice clear blue sky. This break in the weather should last for a few days, with rain in the forecast on Tuesday. Half Dome is in the center of the image. Snow-covered trees and snow-covered slopes, lit by the morning sun, extend from the foreground to the horizon. Some of the steeper rock faces are free of snow, showing off the geologic form and features that surround Yosemite Valley. Thanks to the Yosemite Conservancy and the National Park Service for providing these beautiful images.

Yosemite National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra.

First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.
