An icy bloom has just burst forth from the spring snow at Mount Rainier National Park, Washington.
I wanted to give you all in the north some hope for spring. If these flowers can steel themselves and burst forth from the snow-covered ground to stand tall, confident they won’t have long to wait for the sun’s warmth to kiss their faces and allow them to bloom with color, then so can we.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
What an ethereal beauty–and yes, I needed such a burst of renewal. We’re about to have yet another major snowstorm.
I hope so, because i’ve seriously had enough of this summer.
Believe me I was thinking the opposite too John, haha!
Splendid! I’ll meet you in the middle of the bridge, tomorrow, noon, and we’ll have our exchange 🙂
Currently under unforgiving rain, thanks for this bit of color!
Wow, Iwonder what kind of flower that is.
Not quite sure Annette. Thanks!
Very cool shot! Thanks for the message of hope!
You’re quite welcome Alison!
