Mountain Laurel on Paradise Lane
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
Bear Mountain, Connecticut. The mountain laurel was in full bloom last week so we hiked up Bear Mountain by way of Paradise Lane where we knew there was a load of it. I’m hoping the rain we just had hasn’t knocked the buds off, I’d love to return just to walk through it all again.
Richard, that’s a gorgeous photo of the Mountain Laurel blooming away. Hope they’re still in bloom when you go up there again.
Gary, just wanted to show you what the S90 is capable of and as I get to know it better I’m sure I’ll do even better. No doubt the 5D and a decent lens could out resolve this but I’m quite happy with this as it is.
Looking forward to your work with this wonderful little camera.
Gorgeous shot and flowers. We’ve had so much rain in KS that it ALMOST looks like Ct….no moutain laurel though. Does it smell good? I seem to remember that it does.
Pam, yes, it smells great. We had a hard rain the day after I shot this and I’m hoping there were enough unopened buds so the next time I’m up there (maybe tomorrow) there will be more opened flowers.
