    I found this beautiful Photo by Joe Dsilva while browsing around Flickr and instantly knew it was going to be Photo of the Day. I started to write a caption but the one Joe wrote himself is even better and sums it up perfectly – GET OUT OF THE VALLEY!

    Eastern yosemite is dotted with lots of crystal clear lakes, which makes for amazing hikes, And this time of the year, some of them are even the right time for flowers. Just the way it always tends to be when you are not hauling your macro lens with you.

    Well said Joe. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos with us.

    Aparajith Bharathiyan posted this awesome photo on Flickr that I knew was going to be Photo of the Day when I saw it. I love how he creatively framed the flowers and worked in the bridge in the background with a shallow depth of field so you can still make out what it is but it’s not the focal point of the image.

    Awesome shot, Aparajith.
