Meadow, Hills, and Fence. Calero Hills, California. April 18, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Soft morning light on spring meadow and pasture as fog burns off in the Calero Hills.
I made this photograph on my Saturday morning hike as the fog began to break up over these rolling hills in the Calero Park of southern Santa Clara County. I walk past this scene frequently as it is on a trail that I hike quite often – but this soft light on spring plants is special since it only lasts a few weeks each year.

Pat, thanks for your comment on this one! This photograph has sat here quietly for some time without comment – I posted it quite a while ago – but it is a personal favorite.

This is beautiful. Great textures and depth, and I really like the different shades of green throughout.
