Spring Azaleas, El Capitan Meadow. Yosemite Valley, California. June 6, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Spring azalea blossoms beneath the black oaks in El Capitan Meadow, Yosemite Valley.
I found these white azaleas growing beneath the black oaks in El Capitan Meadow during my early June visit to the Valley. I photographed these same flowers last year during the fall when the flowers were long gone and the leaves were turning gaudy shades of red and yellow and eventually brown.
