An Oldie But Goody by Stephanie Sinclair Via Flickr: Since today is #tbt here is one from my beginner years that my brother asked about last night. I found it in a data card and reprocessed it to order a metal print for him. I still love this shot and recall the morning I took it, as I was the only one at the lake and had the area to myself. What a gift. #ThrowbackThursday

December

Conditions vary on the different sides of Mount Rainier and that is reflected in the wildflowers. On the drier eastern slopes, subalpine meadows are hitting peak bloom. Tipsoo, easily accessible from SR410, has a lush variety of blooming flowers including lupine, false hellbore (aka corn lily), magenta paintbrush, arrowleaf groundsel and more. Can’t make the drive? See some of Tipsoo’s wildflowers in a this short Mountain Moment video!
