| There are times when a photo seems to seek out the photographer rather than the other way around. I woke up a bit later than usual at Yosemite, and there was a line at the shower, so I decided to skip that and eat breakfast. As I arrived at the cafeteria, about a hundred middle school kids were in line ahead of me, so I decided to go look around. I drove over to Ahwahnee meadow, remembering the dogwoods I had seen in bloom the day before. When I parked the car, I saw this band of ground fog lying across the meadow. I set up the camera, and just as I was ready, the sun hit the grove of spring-green trees, lighting them up like fireworks. I shot four frames and changed lenses for a tighter shot, which is on another page. I couldn't help thinking that if the showers had been available, or the line for breakfast had been shorter, I would have missed this photo altogether. I don't think I have the philosophical or theological depth to understand why these things happen, but I'm truly thankful. |

| As most people seem to prefer them, prices are for framed prints, ready to hang. I use a very nice matt black wood frame 7/8 of an inch wide, with a white mat. If you would like to order unframed prints, go to the "Purchase" page for pricing. |
