Picture of the Day - 10/13/09

We're at my sister, Sue's, house for the next few days in North Fork, CA. This picture was actually taken this morning (the 14th) following a five+ inch rain the previous day and night, but I have many more to show you from this area in the Sierra foothills, so didn't want to skip a day. The morning dawned very misty and humid, making for perfect photography of the forested areas, but a challenge in keeping my lens from fogging up in the humid air. This manzanita bush is native to California and has an unusual smooth reddish outer bark. Manzanita is one of the many chaparral plants that typically burn during the fires here.
