Kelley's lily in bloom along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway

 



While driving along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway in the Sierra National Forst on June 13, 2021. We came across several spots with blooming flowers along the road. Much of this area was burned last year, so it was nice to see some still lush and green spots. This flower is called Kelley's lily (Lilium kelleyanum)and is related to the tiger lily or leopard lily. It was growing tall out of a seep that flowed into a small creek. It was taller than we were, more than 6 feet or 2 meters in height.

ISO 25, f1.8, 24mm equivalent, 1/685 sec.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
