The intense snowpack this year in the mountains in Washington has resulted in flower blooms that are up to a month later than usual – some areas probably won’t melt out at all this year before the fall snow starts to fall! Here’s two images from a quick trip to Hurricane Ridge a few weeks ago. I picked this colorful little meadow as I knew that when the sun would set, its golden rays would caress the landscape with life giving light.

Man that’s pretty! I went to Hurricane Ridge while on vacation ten years ago and remember it being overcast and windy with patches of snow on the ground still in July.
Thanks Richard! Yea, this year has been crazy with regards to snow! We’ve only now finally started getting some sun and temperatures above 80 here in Seattle.
Espectacular como todo tu trabajo.
Felicidades y un fuerte saludo.

Beautiful mountain meadow. The light is perfect. When I at Olympic last summer, we never did see flowers. Lots of deer in the meadows, but I can see all the deer I want in Wisconsin. 🙂
