there’s a rhododendron park about 90 minutes north of san francisco, near the mouth of the russian river. the thing is, when it is in bloom, it is most beautiful. but the plants bloom once a year for only a few weeks, and then the show is over. you have to be quick, before the weathergets too warm. i think may.

Elaine,GREAT photo. We are under 12 inches of snow here so it was nice to see. :-)Really enjoyed your comment on my blog post. I know EXACTLY what you mean. I feel the same way. I still go because I think it’s important there are more people like you and me there to open eyes. It is hard though. It’s great to get in touch with you! Sorry it took me so long. Work has been busy because of all the snow storms. 🙂
Form a beautiful flower, and the intense amaranth … A beautiful, especially when the window snow, cold, gray and ugly … I thank you Elaine for the smile in the middle of Polish winter:)
It looks like there’s a hint of double exposure. Always a little something more than normal. Good goin’.
