| During
my hike in late July, flowers were prolific. Orange and yellow Tiger
Lillies dominate the group, above. Other areas host a variety of plants
and flowers. Most of this growth takes place as the trail emerges
from the forest, about two-thirds of the way to the pass. I saw deer
and a marmot along the trail. They were difficult to photograph due
to low light in the forest. I had no time to use a tripod so tried
hand held shots. The result was not good. The ptarmigan, top left,
was above tree line in sunlight. Easily photographed - maybe a little
too much light- but it struck a great profile pose. It's wearing its
summer plumage - I've not been lucky enough to see one in its winter
white. |
