I've never been to Yosemite (and don't know when I will...might have to put it on my bucket list), so I don't know if this will make for good photos ops, but I think it will: http://www.modbee.com/2011/04/06/1631947/springtime-in-yosemite.html#

Bob, thanks for the link. Don't just put Yosemite on a list; add the dates for your planned visit. The sights and sounds are breathtaking during a heavy runoff season.

I've only been to Yosemite one time and it happened to be at the end of May -- which was very much spring. The only downside was that the higher parts of the park were still buried. However, valley was really amazing (and not quite as busy as I'm sure it is during summer) and the water flow was immense.

I went last may and the waterfalls were huge. The roads to glacier point and tioga had just opened. Michael frye has a very good blog and book on phptographing yosemite. His blog is what inspired me to jump on a plane last may.
