Paradise Meadow, Mt. Rainier National Park, WA

This little slope had some nice lines created by the color of the different flowers: Pussy Toes (white), Cascade Asters, (purple), and Paintbrush (red).

Great image I forget that I can exclude the mountain and make a nice image like this and not every image must be epic

Neat natural bouquet - not sure I have been up there during prime flowering season to see those meadows look like this.

An awesome view Doug! I sure wish I could get back up there this year as that had been in my summer plans. Maybe I can still make it, but it's not looking good.

Just pretty Doug. I am definitely planning on it this year. Its still snow covered for the most part. Late July/early Aug is the time. The weather has been crummy so far this year.

Maybe not but yours seem to be, Ben.

Thanks, Jameel. I used to teach a field course there every three years in late July-early August. Some years were good and others not so much. If you hit is during a good year it can be fantastic..

I hope you do get up there, Jim, because it can be fantastic.

You should definitely do that, Alan. You will go nuts if you get there during a good year.

Perfect for this July 4th weekend, Doug!
The angle of the slope makes me want to tilt my head
