White trillium & white fringed phacelia, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN/NC

All I can say is, the trillium and phacelia blooms are/were amazing this year! I hope the cold snap didn’t harm the beautiful display. I chose to shoot this scene as more of a microcosm. I wanted the photograph to show the wonderful details of the trillium bloom and the fringes of the phacelia.

Bern, Nye and I met for sunrise on Foothills Parkway West on Thursday morning. It was a typical boring sunrise but I found this beautiful dogwood, full of blooms, glowing with the light of the early sun. Another very detailed photo.
