Dogwood Leaves, Autumn. Yosemite National Park, California. October 26, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

I’d love to share a story of my long and laborious trek though the Yosemite Sierra to find these specimens of dogwood leaves in autumn red, but the truth is that the main risk I took to get this photograph was being hit by cars as I set up along the side of highway 120 in the park. :-)
