Flowering Among Giants
Recently, Jave, Alan, and I ventured up the California coastline to see the world’s tallest trees – the coastal redwoods. During late spring, wild rhododendrons nestled within the redwood forests bloom with pink flowers.
After much debate on when to head out, we finally decided on heading out by noon on day 1 with plans to squeeze in some shooting before sunset. Flying up Hwy 101, we managed to make it to the redwoods an hour and half prior to sunset. This ended up being one of the best calls of the weekend. Dense marine fog began rolling into the coastline by mid-afternoon and engulfed the groves of redwoods and rhododendrons in fog. It ended up that this evening was the time we had dense fog within the rhododendron groves during our 3-day stay. The presence of fog made a huge difference in the scene, decluttering the background and giving the scene and eerie yet beautiful aura.
It was a pleasure walking among these giants but seeing the vibrant pink rhododendrons blooms was the icing on the cake.
