While I was going through my image library to find images to share in this weeks posts, I came across this photo of a pond in the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge outside of Olympia, WA. It made me think of a certain reflecting pool and the struggles of people attempting to control the algal growth. That made me smile. I hope it does you too.
Paintbrush may not be the most exotic wildflower in a mountain meadow, but it is one of my favorites.
This variety of lupine tends to grow along shorelines … it doesn’t seem to be bothered by a salty environment. I thought it was a nice flower until a friend with a background in botany pointed out it is an invasive species.
I look this on Portra 400 film using a Hasselblad 500 CM. I was just shooting to use up the end of the roll and it turned out to be the best image of the lot.
Those of you who are regular followers may have noticed that while I usually post every other day, this is an extra. I decided I would post on odd numbered days … so enjoy the extra image!
Sorry to not have the variety for these. I know that’s important for some folks … I’m less concerned with the variation.
