Cloudy Hood

Some roadside blooms at the eastern end of the Columbia River Gorge area with a cloudy Mt. Hood in the distance. The blooms are mostly Balsamroot and Lupines.

This sure is a peaceful scene, is this from the Washington side? Nicely done.

Correct - the Columbia River and the town of Hood River are hidden from view by the basalt field just past the blooms.

Hi Alan,
This looks like a nice place to have a picnic and a nap. Really liking all the layering in this photo

Is the bloom just starting,Alan? I have always wanted to capture the Columbia River wildflowers but have never gotten around to it.

The blooms at this end of the gorge tend to be mid to late May. This shot was from a mid may drive up to the Maryhill area.

Beautiful! I love the flowers!

That is a very nice field of flowers! As an option, you could also crop a little below the mountains since they are hidden mostly. I really want to get back up to the gorge area again.
