Dancing Trees
After spending days in San Francisco, David said he had enough of staring at concrete. For a change of scenery I brought him to some of California’s spring bliss: rolling green hills. This winter and spring the hills have become green unlike the parched past 4 years. David chose the perfect time to visit California as the spring greens peaked. I decided to take him to one of my recently scouted spots where the views reminded me of the rolling hills of Italy or the Palouse.
Perched high above the ridge we looked downward upon the hills looking for patterns, light play, and lone trees. Immediately a small but distant grove of fresh oaks caught our eyes. With the ridgeline in sunlight and the background hill in shadow the lighting on this small oak grove was perfect. The afternoon and evening turned out to be one of my best shoots in the hills where the soft filtered light and peak greens provided the ideal spring conditions. Here’s to hoping for another great green year in 2017.
