Flowers of the NW

It's been 1 month and we still haven't gotten the kayaks in the water, but we have been enjoying the area. The most of the big BLOOM is over. The tulips just as we arrived the end of April and while we've been hiking we've seen the rhododendrons.


The Madrone trees are about through blooming.


and our Rv park is "Lookin Fine"

But perhaps the most interesting species around is the "Pink-headed relay crew" .


Here's Judy and Donna. With everything going on in the store even the "Relay Crew" is playing it safe....

Hi Folks,
I would like to comment on the unique species that you were VERY LUCKY to capture a picture of.

The "Glowing Pinkies" as they are known as 'round here, are a true rarity in these parts (and in many others). This is the first time their blooming pinkness has actually been documented.

There are some who would put them right up there with the elusive Yeti; and ... there are some who would like to put them up there with the Yeti!

How in the world did you ever get close enough to photograph these two delightful specimens?
