Photo Of The Day

Granite Garden by Cory ONeill

Today’s Photo Of The Day is by Cory ONeill and it was a Finalist in our 3rd Annual Nature’s Colors Contest. The photo was taken near Bishop, California. ONeill describes the scene, “Even late in the summer, wildflowers such as these shooting star can be found along streams in the high Sierra. I found this garden-like setting in a stunning and infrequently visited basin deep in the John Muir wilderness.”

I’ll be selecting a Photo Of The Day as often as I can. The photographs will be selected from the various OP galleries including Assignments, Your Favorite Places and the contest galleries.
