 Taken today in the front yard during a light rain drizzle. The crown was looking particularly nice with the recent blossoms on the rhododendrons. Can't wait for the pinks and whites to come in around the other side of this group of redwoods.

Thanks for the votes. I knew it wouldn't be the best entry, but needed to get my feet wet. These are coastal Coastal Redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains. It's always pretty here so I sometimes forget to get out and shoot.

I like the contrasts between flower and greens here, but the picture feels a bit meh, like a snapshot. 6

The picture in itself is great. I'm not sure how I feel about it in this challenge though. If the challenge title was flowers, gardens & fields I'd be okay with it.. It just seems to me as if you don't have a whole lot of flowers, or as if they're not a big part of the overall picture.

However, I do have to say that those are gorgeous trees to have in your front yard!
