Mazama Ridge Wildflowers
A few shots of wildflowers on the Mazama Ridge from Paradise Valley.
Indian/Magenta Paintbrush (Castilleja parviflora var. oreopola)
False/Indian Hellebore (Veratrum viride)
Avalanche Lily (Erythronium montanum)
Glacier Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum)
Mt. Rainier Wildflowers
A few wildflowers from Mt. Rainier National Park. Merten’s Bluebells (Mertensia paniculata) and a somewhat beleaguered Avalanche Lily (Erythronium montanum). A better version of this flower can be found in a previous post of mine. Next trip there will not be so rushed and I will likely have more of a chance to get the macro lens after these a bit more.
Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest
More shots from the Mt. Baker Ski Area.
American Border Peak (2,794 feet (852 meters))
Closeups of Mt. Shuksan and Shuksan Arm
This little Gray Jay (Perisoreus canadensis) at first made me think he was a rare opportunity but quickly proved to be rather tame – and not shy about begging for a handout.
