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!

Glorious scenery! We have the same problem here with the best-known scenic areas; although our extensive network of footpaths should be able to absorb all the people who want to get some exercise, in practice large numbers of city-dwellers, who would normally be shopping or going to the cinema, found themselves with nothing to do and descended upon the handful of beauty spots that they'd heard of. I can still walk the paths around my home though and there are only a few others out and about.
I hope we will have our old freedoms back...In the meantime, this is such a gorgeous landscape. I'm struck by the diversity of imagery in your many photos...Enjoy your home state as it heals...
A magnificent image of a fabulous place. I look forward to seeing more of your work. I followed you a couple of years back, but left blogging for a while. I've missed the blogging world, however, and have now returned.
