Trees, Fog, And Green Things

This is from a recent trip up to see the redwoods and rhododendrons in Northern California. The rhododendrons weren’t exactly plentiful, but the trees were there so I spent some time attempting to make some photos of them. I’m not much of a landscape photographer: that’s Dan’s thing, after all. But I tried. And here is one attempt to capture them, with a bit of fog in the distance.

For Your Tuesday Afternoon

Just seems like a good time for a Thysanocarpus photo, don’t you think?

Heh … actually the truth of it is that I was just complaining over on Facebook about the people who simply aren’t taking Covid-19 seriously and I thought maybe, instead, I should post something pretty. I can’t force a soul to wear a mask or socially distance. I can’t change anyone else. I can only work on changing myself. So I need to stop whining and pointing fingers and focus instead on either my own heart, or on other things that are true, good, beautiful, and worthy of the focus.

Sunset in Northern California

I really need to do more than flowers. But I’m not going to say goodbye to them, as they make me happy. But honestly, how many flowers do other people want to see?! Tonight I’ll be posting Goodnight Flower #1802. And those are only the ones labeled as Goodnight Flowers: I’ve done so many (too many?) more!

I was going to go back through our Europe trips tonight to see if there are images I’d like to share, but for now I’ll post this sunset from our trip up north. My eyes are saying it’s time to step away from Lightroom and the computer!
