A few of you may remember when I posted some shots of Happy Canyon in 2022. I finally got back there after a failed attempt (the road was closed @5 miles before the old trailhead and adding 10 miles on to the hike was not something I was up for) and I think there were a couple of other times...
They're both really nice. I'm with Jim in that the bit of light coming through the trees is lost in the B&W. Awfully close, pretty much a toss up between the two.

I was out in California in late January for, ironically, a traumatic brain injury seminar when I got hit by a car as I was walking on the sidewalk, crossing a driveway to a shopping center. I must have been looking at the businesses in the center to see what was there, as I didn't see the car...
