Even though it was 12 years ago this month, I still remember driving through the pre-dawn darkness down a narrow backroad and squinting out my window through heavy fog in the hope of finding some wildflower meadows I'd heard of but whose precise locations I did not know.
I also remember the excitement I felt when the colorful landscape finally began to reveal itself. I pulled off the road and had the place to myself for a couple of hours before I finally continued to my next destination.
I could have wished for more interesting light on the landscape, but the fog's nicely diffused light was just right for more intimate portraits among the Owl's Clover and other wildflowers.
