Photo By Beth Young Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Colusa County Flowers and Hills” by Beth Young. Location: Colusa County, California. “Last weekend, my husband and I ventured out for a drive to nearby rural Colusa County,” says Young. “Our favorite wildflower spot was devoid of my beloved poppies, but we found this massive field of purple lupine and yellow wildflowers. With partly cloudy skies, the dappled light danced across the green hills in the distance and I elected to use the telephoto for a more intimate scene.” Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. Exposure: 1/1000 sec., f/16, ISO 2000. See more of Beth Young’s photography at www.optimalfocusphotography.com .
