Catawba Rhododendron & Stream

Last year was the first time I shot this place and ever since I couldn't wait until it came back around. The flowers will likely be back within 2 weeks. This is the only stream I know that features the more colorful Catawba Rhododendron along the banks as opposed to the more white colored Rosebay or Great Rhododendron that is commonly found. This stuff goes on for miles and even up the little tributaries. Once the Catawba runs it's course up through the mountains then the spring wildflower blooming will basically be done for my area. It's been a whirlwind spring.
