French Broom in the foreground (yellow flowers) is pretty profuse in Northern California at springtime. Having just a small amount of time in the late afternoon I went for a small format - 5"x7" - using a Fabriano watercolor block. I was interested in capturing the dappled light on the ivy growing up the smaller trees. This was at a point in Belvedere, very quiet with just the daydream like sounds of the surf below undulating between the rocks.

Interesting placement of the French Broom, I feel like it is down in the corner yelling out in a tiny delicate voice, "look at me!"
