7. Thanks, it is a great group!

I hope to contribute more, recently retired, with a long absence from a long career in the photography world.
The location of this shot is in northern Trinity County California, at the base of the Trinity Alps, at approximately 2,500'.
The flower is on a camellia, don't know any more than that, It's our new home. And no, it's not warm here, we expect close to nine inches of the white stuff over the next few days.
