This Wood Rose was found near Crane Flat, Yosemite CA. The yellow

dots are pollin that fell from the surrounding conifers.

I don't mean to promote off road use of private vehicles in fragile

areas. We were camping out in Escalante National Park staying within

legal limits. We did not drive over the beautiful potholes. I've

always liked this image but the negative message just came to me.

While up near Mono Pass the clouds began to build and the

temperature dropped creating an excellent opportunity. I used a

300mm lens with 80mm of extention mounted on a sturdy

ballhead.

I took this picture in 1998 while at Starved Rock State Park in IL.

This is my first posting.
