We got a bit of freedom back today in Washington. Fishing is allowed again, and most state parks are open. Most of the good ones are closed. No beaches, for example. And none of the great wildflower hikes are open yet either. This photo is in the vicinity of Catherine Creek, which is still closed. We drove down through Mosier. Balsam Root and Lupine are in peak at the higher elevations. Lower down things have moved on to California poppies and Bachelor's buttons. I'm definitely looking forward to the day when all trails and beaches are open again!
