Land of daisies and redwoods


These shots were taken at our new favorite campground. It's hard to find a campground that's small, removed and quiet enough to feel like you're sleeping out in nature, instead of in a jolly,noisy town that sprung up in the woods.
- hey, I just described the Strawberry Music Festival outside of Yosemite. I stand corrected. Sometimes noisy, jolly camps are a lot of fun.  

This is Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Northern California at Albee Creek. These shots were taken out of the redwood groves and in an old abandoned apple orchard. I really understand the allure of daisies when I see them growing in fields among grasses, especially in this smaller more delicate size.

Before we came here, I did a wedding in the golden foothills of Colombia, Ca. More on that later, but here's a shot of the little bouquets I made for 4 young flower/cowgirls, who appeared to abandon their bouquets and boots simultaneously.The bouquets remind me of the daisy fields I saw later at the campground- same time of day, around sunset..There's a little magic in the effect of fading light on small white flowers.
