Picture of the Day - 8/5/08


Family activities today, so I thought I'd send out another wildflower picture from the alpine area of Olympic NP. These are broadleaf lupines (with frost still on the leaves), and are widespread at Hurricane Ridge. Interestingly, the mountains have permanent glaciers, yet the highest elevation (Mt. Olympus) is only 7,965 feet. Our house in Woodland Park is at 8,800 feet!
