Dogwood Blossoms and Branch. Yosemite Valley, California. May 10, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Spring dogwood tree blossoms and leaves in Yosemite Valley.
Yes, another dogwood… but, hey, it is spring and the dogwoods are (or were) blooming! These were photographed in Yosemite Valley in early May of this year on an intense one-day photography trip to The Valley. I shot this one during more or less the midday hours, rather than during the more typical early/late light. However, this has its advantages, too, if one can find good shade with open illumination. The color balance at this time of day seems to go more toward balanced white and the broken and filtered light on the ground makes an interesting background.
