Dawn at Tom McCall Preserve

May 20th, 2010     Tags:, , , ,

A week after I went hiking with Kalin, I return to do some more hiking. This time I arrived before dawn and hiked part of the way up to Tom McCall Point. I got the next couple of pictures on the way up as the sun comes up. This is a HDR picture and it was windy, so the flowers didn’t come out as well.
