James on Sourdough Ridge
From Sunrise parking area, we took Sourdough Ridge to Frozen Lake and Berkeley Park. On the way back, from Frozen Lake we took Sunrise Camp/Shadow Lake trail back to Sunrise. Prismatic wildflowers, blue skies, white mountain, electric green moss and clear alpine streams, steeped in lupine scent, melting in the sun, marmot whistle pierces surreality, eyes drawn to far-off Baker, boots firm in red-brown sand. Further than this, I am inarticulate. Pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/51278183@N05/sets/72157627620911684/

I must say, having taught photography for years, you have an excellent photographic eye! Great use of the rule of thirds and wonderful interpretations. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us through great photography. Keep it up!
