The Story behind the Picture - Week 2

For week two, I have one of my most recent favorites, entitled "A Dandy Day". This photo was taken in the San Juan Islands in the beautiful Northwest.

I was just recently in Washington visiting my girlfriend's family, and we took a hike through incredible Sharp Park. This area is located on the SW side of Fidalgo island, and is a must see if you ever happen to find your way up there.

A short hike through a cool, mossy forest led us out to Sares Head, where some of the most spectacular views can be found in this area. I must have spent a hour photographing the landscape and surrounding plants, when I came across a small patch of dandelions. I decided to take full advantage of that evening's gorgeous sunset, and used to it light this little dandelion on fire with color. The result was this silhouette shot with amazing detail on the dandelion itself surrounded by warm, inviting colors that make your eyes dance.
