Crimson Finale
One of my favorite tree subjects is a combination of two or more different species coexisting in a single scene. The coastal redwoods have their rhododendron whereas the sequoias have their dogwoods. Contrasting in both size and colors, these combinations of trees bring striking interest to otherwise static scenes. Mostly known for their spring blooms, dogwoods also exhibit brilliant fall colors.
Ever since photographing the sequoias in winter, I have continued a project of documenting them throughout the seasons. It was difficult nailing down the exact time of peak autumn colors this year. California
Although most of the dogwoods were past peak, Aaron and I managed to find a few areas with healthy leaves full of colors. This tree was one of the most brilliant we came across with its deep red leaves. We were also lucky with the sunset conditions as high clouds helped diffuse the evening light and provided glow on the sequoia trunks.
