Weeds Are Beautiful, Episode 1



In other news, I can't wait until fireweed season. They don't call it fireweed for no reason - it often colonizes burn areas, and also logging areas. Before and after it blooms, it looks a bit ratty, but it's so cool when it's in season, usually late June and early July. It has such a striking purple color, and generally grows in stands, which can be quite impressive. This particular shot is from Discovery Park this past July. It was a good evening, despite the many mishaps (for example, crawling around through the tall grass looking for my sunglasses!)

Confession: I also wanted to see how a vertical picture looked on this blog. Apparently it works!
