Accented Hills - a photo on Flickriver

Accented Hills

            Patches of yellow hillside daisies accent the topography of hills in this view of the super bloom earlier this year. I’ve become increasingly fascinated with the distribution of flowers during such events, noting how they relate to the landscape. In one superbloom the southern facing slopes were incredible. In another, the the flowers seemed to swap over to the north facing slopes. Some flowers seem to concentrate in washes while others prefer wide slopes. Not here for instance that on the right side of the frame in the distant valley the yellow daisies completely dominate on one side of the wash but are almost nonexistent on the other side, which instead has a distribution of little shrubs. The slight differences in light and moisture throughout the year are enough to completely tip the balance from one plant species to the other. I liked the way the early afternoon high light helped accentuate the daisies on the ridges here. I wonder if in a future visit the daisies will be erupting from different slopes instead.
