Shooting Star
I photographed this California Wildflower yesterday on the Hyte Cove trail. The official name is Dodecatheon Clevelandii or Shooting Star. The wildflowers are in full bloom and I suggest that you get your camera out, forget your plans and get out into foothills. Since the precipitation was above normal you should find fields of flowers almost everywhere in the California foothills. Don’t forget to bring a translucent reflector to avoid photographing in direct sunlight.
Enjoy and have a great photographic day!
