Wow. Wasn't expecting the response. Thanks, Ann, Jack, frank, Christine, Cotty, Dan, Gerrit, Paul, Bob, Peter, Paul, Bruce, and et. all for looking and commenting.
It's kind of ironic. I am putting together a hand-done calendar for friends (a couple) and I've been going through photos for varied shots of Northern California. (I gave them one two years ago which they loved.) I've mainly been using 2011-2012 shots, but didn't have enough and started looking at 2010 shots. These upward looking shots in my Praire Creek Folder, I had skimmed by previously, knowing it was a cliched shot. I was looking more at the bases of trees and other shots the first time around. But this time, going through a second time, with fresh eyes, I thought, "you know that's not so bad." Just goes to prove maybe it's worth taking a second look later sometimes. Maybe years later. ;-) BTW, because of this group, the peppers and the blue car have made the cut for the calendar. Heh. Thanks, guys and gals. Marnie :-) I love shooting Redwoods, but as lots of you have stated it is hard to do. Yes. I have vertical shots too, but I like the horizontal ones because it's a littlebit anti-cliche cliche. Heh.
