Description
The evergreen Rhododendren is a very close kin to the moiuntain laurel growing in higher elevations wildly in the Smoky Mountains. These plants are springing to life, as if to say "told you so" to the late freeze last year which destroyed most flower growth.
This shot is lit entirely by evening sunlight, filtered through the moist forest where the plants like to be. Laurel is often found along rapid cold water brooks in the mountains.
Enjoy what the Creator has given us in nature. I do.
