Redwood Forest 9468
Rhododendrons/Redwoods.
The California Redwoods are a natural wonder. Timing the bloom of wild rhododendrons is an an extra level of wonder. The timing of the blooms along with the timing of the weather have to be just right. The stops of light in a forest on a cloudless day can exceed the ability to capture a decent photo. There is either too much shadow or too much light. A cloudy day will reduce these extremes. If bloom time and light are acceptable then composition becomes the challenge.
From Los Angeles to the Redwood forest in the north is about a days drive now. It has taken three different drives to capture this photo, which is now on my wall at home. The harder it gets the more you appreciate the capture.
