Please click on the image to view on black. I’m finally getting around to processing some images from this past Summer. This is a very well known scene from Mount Rainier National Park. While there was a beautiful sunset over the Tatoosh Range, my primary interest was on a vibrant, lovely patch of wildflowers that I discovered. I tried to place focus on those here with this image. The title comes from one of my favorite quotes: “We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ~ Henry David Thoreau www.candacebartlettphotography.com
