Hey Guys,

Here is one I just processed, still have many more to work on.
I was pleased to find more than Rhodies at Del Norte SP. And it was great to have some fog as well. I must say that this trip exceeded my expectations. When I arrived Friday the fog and partial sun was just amazing. Beams of light were shooting through the trees at times. I just posted a couple like that on ESS & M&N.

Here is the larger image:

Gotta run to work for now.

This testifies to your having good lighting and a good bloom in the Redwoods.
Thanks for sharing, Derek.

Very nice Derek. I'm still jealous. :smile:

I like the up close feel the wide angle gives the fg vegetation here. I also like the way the clusters of white bookend the pink Rhodies. Nice work!

Thanks guys,

Yeah I was very suprised to see these two blooms intermingled in places like this. And the fog was an added bonus thats for sure.

nice Derek. I like it...makes me envious to visit but I guess this year is too late :(

Well Deb, I would say this is still some time. But I am just not sure how long. As you can see in this photo some of the flowers are still budding. While in other areas the flowers have fallen from the trees. I would think this weekend would still be pretty good and possibly next, although that might be pushing it.
