Photos along the way ... Shots taken almost at tandom as I went north looking at flowers. In chronological order, starting just after 3 PM, an hour out of town.
 |
| Somewhere along the highway. I had stopped to look at lupins. |
 |
| A disused logging road near Eve River. There were roses and thimbleberries here. |
 |
| A trail down to Hoomak Lake. The sign reads, "Caution. Watch for overhead hazards. Do not use in windy conditions." |
 |
| Hoomak Lake; the lakeside trail. Twinflowers and salal here. |
 |
| A glimpse of Hoomak Lake. Hardhack, not in flower yet; the visible flower head is leftover from last year. |
 |
| Sit and rest awhile. |
 |
| Bottom of the staircase back to the Rest Area. Thimbleberry flowers here. |
 |
| On the way home again. That's Jagged Mountain ahead. The Wikipedia photo was taken from this same spot, before all the alders filled the vacant space. |
I guess this could count as a Skywatch post.

Algunas fotos del camino hacia el norte, mientras iba buscando flores. Están en orden cronológico; unas pocas horas, empezando cerca de las 3 de la tarde. (Salí de casa a las 2.)
- Al lado de la carretera, donde me había detenido para mirar unos lupinos.
- Un camino de forasteros en desuso. Aquí había rosas silvestres y flores de thimbleberry, Rubus parviflorus.
- Bajando por un sendero hacia el lago Hoomak. El aviso lee: "Cuidado. Estén conscientes de peligros en la copa del bosque. No usar (el sendero) en condiciones de viento."
- El sendero abajo, a la orilla del lago. Aquí hay flores gemelas y flores de salal, Gualtheria shallon.
- Una vista del lago. Las flores de hardhack, Spiraea douglasii, no salen todavía; las que se ven son las del año pasado.
- Siéntate y descansa un rato.
- Parte de la escalera que nos regresa al area de descanso. Aquí se ven las flores blancas de thimbleberry.
- Ya en camino de regreso, me detuve para mirar esas montañas. La del centro es Jagged Mountain (Montaña Accidentada o Irregular). La foto que se ve en Wikipedia la sacaron de este mismo sitio, pero antes de que crecieran los alisos para llenar el espacio abierto.
Un post para
Skywatch, donde se ven los cielos alrededor del mundo en esta semana.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
