Sometimes the blue haze on distant objects is a negative in a photograph; sometimes, it's just what you were hoping for. I love blue hills/mountains that go on forever....
Mt. Rainier from Sunrise, with the most spectacular clouds swirling around.
A view from Lake Tipsoo. I think that's the Governor Range in front of Rainier.
An overview of Lake Tipsoo with Rainier in the background. Too bad it was breezy--the breeze felt delightful, but it sure played havoc with reflections!
A few of the wildflowers around Tipsoo. The vivid pink ones are Magenta Paintbrush, with a few Broadleaf Lupine lurking nearby. The yellow daisy-like blooms are (I think) Broadleaf Arnica, with a lone Subalpine Daisy way over to the left, just getting ready to open.
This little Flutterby was kind enough to land and pose on a Sitka Valerian--I couldn't get over his beautiful blue color and how well he co-ordinated with the lupine in the background!! Between his skittishness and the breeze I had to shoot quickly.
This delicate beauty is Rockslide Larkspur, and that's just where it was located, amongst rocks cascading down a sunny hillside. It looked so fragile among all the rocks and boulders.

These are beautiful Pat! If it weren't such a drive I'd go out there more often.
Oh, Pat, those are all incredible! The blues in the first one are simply unbelievable!
Pat - These pictures are gorgeous. I wanted to break out in song: "The hills are alive . . . with the sound of music . . . (insert Julie Andrew's voice here) . . . "
All kidding aside, these truly are beautiful photos!
Absolutely stunning photos! What a gorgeous place to photograph! I could almost feel the crisp breeze and smell the fresh air looking at these
