River of Gold - Raven15

Just a hundred yards from the parking lot, a swirl of yellow flowers traces a small seasonal stream, if you know how to look at it.

Thanks. Actually, it's not as obvious as it seems when there's no frame around it. I responded subconsciously and took a shot one day as I walked by. I got home and looked and said "hey, a river!" So I went back the next day to try again when I took this. I was never completely happy with what I was able to pull off, I wish I had greater depth of field. But it is sharper than this, it lost some detail in compression.

I did follow it to the top, but it only looks like a stream of flowers from the bottom.

Pulls you right into the picture - I would have a hard time not following that stream to see where it is going :-) Cool shot.

Wow, what a display of flowers! It's like a little river of butter! I love all the bits of purple and orange in there too.

Brilliant sunlight, distilled into flowers, unfolds for our pleasure. How lovely this is!
