Here is a 2015 photograph from a favourite site of many spring wildflower seekers, the Dalles Mountain Road area in southern Washington state.
Photographs from my 2014 pilgrimage (with commentary on plants in the photographs) are here, if you’d like to revisit them. Do note that many of the trails in this area are currently closed.
No additional commentary today other than I hope you like the photograph!
Stunning! Thank you! The sweeps of light and shadow and color remind me of an impressionist painting – worthy of framing. Superb shot!
I love the large contrast between light and shadow in this one, makes the landscape pop.
Stunning!!These photos give us a bright start to the day, and encourage me to get out and work in my own garden high up in North Van where little pops of colour are beginning to show. Thanks Daniel.
I like your photograph, particularly zoomed in, which shows up the colour better on my screen. I like your links too – nice closeups on the “here” link to the earlier BPotD, and a lot of other people’s photo links at the bottom of the OregonHikers.org page (first link).
I couldn’t help but think (as I’m sheltering in place and not able to get out much) that this photo and so many others (Like the Cercidiphyllum) would make outstanding, challenging, inspiring, stress-relieving jigsaw puzzles – perhaps a fundraiser for the UBC gardens in these hard times?
