Photo By Beth Young

Today’s Photo of the Day is “Foggy Rhododendron Looking Up” by Beth Young. Location: California.

“Every year, in a short window of time on Memorial Day weekend, I endeavor to capture the magical ingredients of redwoods, fog, rhododendrons, and sunbeams all in one frame,” says Young. “This year’s missing ingredient was sunbeams; however, I can never complain about being in one of my favorite places, and most fragile ecosystems in the world, with my camera. For me, this is like being in church, with the towering coastal redwoods conveying a sense of both peacefulness and awe.”
