Yellow Water Lily and Damsel fly at Mirror Lake near Mount Adams, July 2013
Yes I am going back to summer now, since it is brighter and warmer than what is outside! These are all from my July 2013 folder from camping and hiking up in Bird Creek Meadows on the SE slopes of Mount Adams in southern Washington State.
Please share my work with your friends using the buttons at the bottom! and check out the links in the sidebar and my calendars and books. I am still working on my calendar for 2014.

Heart Lake and Little Mount Adams in Tract DBear Grass along the Bird Creek Road, Tract DMount Adams is now visable from above the bridge and falls on the Bird Creek Road, thanks to the burned scar left by the Cold Springs Fire of 2008.. WIldflowers such at this Penstemon and the Bear Grass are becoming prolific in the previously desolate burnDancing Cirrus uncinus clouds over Mount Adams brighten up a photo nicely!Bear Grass was thick this year around Bird Lake and along the road in, as well as up in the meadows.

This trail is part of a wonderful loop starting and ending at Bird Lake that wanders up through Bird Creek Meadows, past Bluff Lake and Crooked Creek Falls.

Part of my Tin Cup series, this is an old cup of my father’s. Dad, Claude Black, passed away in 1996 at age 88, and had carried this cup camping and fishing for many years. I carry it now and it brings me pleasure to drink mountain stream water from the cup and remember my Father.Another shot of a Yellow Violet with my Tin Cup… see previous shot for more information.Many of these little waterfall and wildflower shots are from along the Bluff Lake Trail not far from the campground at Bird Lake near Mount Adams. Again, part of the Tract D area
I think this might be a Hoverfly but am not certain, but I know the flower is Arnica… seen on the Round the Mountain Trail, also known as Bird Creek Meadows trail

Hope you enjoy the sunshine on flowers, and have a happy feeling!
As I said above, check out the links in the sidebar. Many of these images are going in the 4th edition version of the book “Trout Lake and Beyond” which is now up to 46 pages on this remodel! I will be displaying pages from there soon… as well as my 2014 calendar.
My mother taught me to love the world around me… and if I can help others to see with new eyes by showing that beauty through photography. I have accomplished my hearts goal . Husum, WA is my childhood home and I consider home to be anywhere from Mount Adams to the Columbia River. I give thanks to my parents for their love for Nature and God.
