Unusual grass widow flower

By Jim Cummins

Taken Apr 06, 2012 on Snow Mountain Ranch in the Yakima region of Eastern Washington.

Grass widow wildflowers are plentiful now at Snow Mountain Ranch. There are some unusual colored grass widow flowers like the one in this photo. Sagebrush buttercup, yellow bells, several varieties of desert parsley (lomatium), and sagebrush violet are at their peak.

Ice Cold Creek

Taken Dec 10, 2011 in the White Pass / Cowlitz River Valley region of South Cascades.

I hiked along Oak Creek in the Oak Creek Wildlife Area near Naches. There is no trail, but plenty of thick brush for those who like bushwhacking. Freezing fog and a week of very cold air created a frosty landscape and ice covered stream.

November is a great time to photograph bighorn sheep in the Oak Creek Wildlife Area near Naches WA. Although there is no official trail, I often hike Waterworks Canyon. There is a path for several miles in the botton or the canyon, but I climbed the hills to the west for this photo.
