Hi All,

You folks were so accomodating with answers to my question about Mono Lake (greatly appreciated, by the way):wavey:, that I thought I'd toss another at you.

When do the rhododendrons bloom in the Redwoods? Any tips on the best locations to photograph them?

Thanks in advance!

Jerry

Caught 'em in early May at Salt Point (Kruse Rhododenron Preserve) last year. But you're closer to Jed Smith Redwoods S.P. than I am. I'd bet it's worth checking out. I love that place.

I only guessed earlier this year, cuz the Ground Hog didn't see his shadow and the daffydills are already blooming here....so I thought it might be 6 weeks early as predidcted?? Nope??
So don't be surprised if this year IS earlier..... :smile:
