  Very nice shot of the rhododendrons on Roan. This is the first time in many years I've haven't been up there in early June to catch the show myself. Thanks for sharing.

  I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

  Tom, Sorry to hear that. This was actually my first time to get to Roan during the rhododendron bloom. A fantastic place for sure!

  I love the crispness of the foreground with the depth of the mountains, just beautiful.

  what an amazing shot! i don't think i've ever seen that many rhodies in one spot before! the rhododendron is the Washington state flower, but they never grow like that here!

  Thank you! This is specifically a rhododendron garden where they grow nothing but rhododendron. In the non-garden areas, the rhododendron are certainly further between and more like what you'd expect.
