  1. Wow, looks like it's an amazing spring for wildflowers in Washington! I'm really enjoying seeing all your shots! Posted 7 years ago
    1. thank you! - there is some really good wildflower territory out here and it will move up the mountains as the weather gets warmer, so the season lasts a long time - from late April in the lowlands to July - sometimes even August up in the Alpine areas. Posted 7 years ago
