Saw a few images floating around with a rather profuse mixture of wildflowers at the hurricane ridge area. I thought I'd get further verification by checking the hurricane-ridge-web cam. What I saw through the web-cam view was some fuzzy purple in the distance. A few minutes later my camping gear was getting loaded in my bag.
In terms of showcasing a summer coat, Hurricane Ridge is currently more advanced than any areas on the west side of the state that I'm aware of. With the variety of hiking destinations in the PNW during the summer, often times it's difficult picking a destination, but this was one of the few times I can say with confidence that I chose wisely.

Those are great photos. I was trying to figure out where to bring the kids on a day hike next week; you just made up my mind for me!

Thanks!
Karen, I noticed the motion blur, and thankfully I took a few more images of that comp in hopes I could get one with no visible-motion blur. I replaced the aforementioned with a new one with no motion blur.
