To begin my Blue Mountains trip, I stopped at Fields Spring State Park, one of my favorite places in the state. I'd never been there before in early summer, and it was fun to see new flowers and changed landscapes. First, what I believe is thin-leaved owl clover (
Orthocarpus tenuifolius). The bright back lighting was a challenge, but I think I made it work. F/5.
Second, old man's whiskers (
Geum triflorum), with the flower having faded and going to fruit. F/6.3.
Here's a view from Puffer Butte, with buckwheat the most prominent flower. F/20.
Finally, a view of the forest just north of the warming hut, with rose bushes blooming. F/20.
