I discovered this amazing alpine flower in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite in California… it is incredible. The flower looks like fungus, but is not. I could not believe how red it was.

In May 2012, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to northern California, and visit the giant sequoias in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite and the Sequoia National Park. It was an amazing experience. Not surprisingly I have many photos of these incredible trees and their partners in the forests there. They moved me to tears.
