Just down that winding mountain road from the butterflies and milkweeds is Eva Chandler Heritage Preserve. It is managed by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. And they do a fine job of it.
What got me to stop this time was a fifteen-foot tall Rhododendron maximum blooming just beside the entrance to the preserve. The flowers are just opening, and are in perfect form. The delicate pink around the edges of each petal make this one of my favorite June blossoms...
Since I was already out of the truck and had my camera in tow, I decided to walk the trail a bit. I soon found Prickly pear cactus in bloom. It's delicate, clear yellow flowers had the bees going on that day. It is one of the cactus species that is native to the Southeast, and one that is found all over the state.
On my way back to the truck, I looked up and saw the branch of a tree whose leaves were eaten in such a way that the main supporting structure of the leaf was still there, but most of the rest of the leaf was gone! Quite a sight to see...

My 4 year-old Epi (Epiphyllum or Orchid Cactus) in bloom for the first time. Unfortunately this giant (compare with my arm) fragnant flower stays open only for one night.

The colors of these flowers were amazing, especially against the drab brown background of the desert floor.
First day with an iPhone and I decided to test out the capabilities. After hearing so many great reviews of the camera, I was excited to try it out. In fact, I chose the iPhone because the only camera phone that receives consistently better reviews (Nokia N8) isn't available with my service. All in all, I think it does a really good job, especially with a couple low price apps like HDR pro and others which increase it's range of options but make it more complicated. I was able to achieve good results (in nearly ideal conditions) with almost no manual editing or manipulation using HDR Pro or the basic camera.
I really should have done some more editing with dodging and burning to emphasize the subject and de-emphasize distracting detail, but I was aiming to show what was capable without any manual manipulation.
From neighbor's front yard. The flower can only be seen for 24hrs after which it closes up until next year.

This large cactus was in bloom and was gorgeous. The bloom was about as big as a medium sized apple.
While hiking with my children this spring in Snow Canyon we came across the most beautiful prickly pear cactus in bloom. The blossom was the most incredible shade of fushia. The flower set against the red sandstone was stunning.
