Wildflowers and Redwoods...

The wildflowers are starting to bloom here in the mountains and I have been trying to get some photos when I am able. I have not yet made it to some of the higher elevations but hope to in the near future. In the meantime, here are a couple of recent photos...



Poppy against the sky...



Veratrum Califoricum...Corn Lillies



Lupines backlit in the morning sun...

Nana and I also had the opportunity to spend some time in Redwood National Park along California's north coast recently. We were hoping to photograph the annual Rhododendron bloom among the redwoods in dramatic, foggy light - usually the norm for the this time of year. Unfortunately, the weather was TOO NICE - crystal clear and warm...great for tourists, not so great for photographers. I did manage to get some photos however...

Anyway, take care all and have a good summer...
