There are plenty of public gardens, plenty of cultivated botanical reserves one can visit here in Western North Carolina, though I find more joy in going out and looking for simple examples in the mountains. Seeking out a particular bloom for its color, for its shape, and often for the light you get through particular canopies. There’s something special about going on a journey, maybe with a specific goal, or in my case on this day… With nothing but a general idea of a few things I might like to see. It’s late to be looking for wildflower blooms in a lot of areas, but if you travel up to the right elevation, you can revisit spring all over again. I spotted this Azalea stuffed back into a mess of branches, and trees, barely visible except for the brilliant flowers pushing out from the bramble. I spent half an hour looking, shooting, and considering the scene. Slow, tedious, but very rewarding composition.
