Naches Peak Loop

A few days ago, I made a trip to the Naches Peak Loop trail near Chinook Pass. Given the clouds and drizzle in the Seattle area, I was hoping for some interesting clouds and diffuse lighting on the trail. Alas, it was bright and sunny, and I got a late start, meaning the lighting conditions were quite harsh during my visit. Still, a couple decent shots worth posting. First, some aster still blooming, along with pasqueflower seed heads. F/22.


Next, a view down to Dewey Lake. Despite the harsh lighting, I was attracted to the colors of the view. You can tell that autumn is on its way. F/20.


Finally, a closeup of what I think is fringed grass-of-Parnassus, or Parnassia fimbriata. F/5.
