On August 6th, the park\u00a0finally opened the\u00a0road out to Olympic National Park’s Obstruction Pass. From the acres of cars and people at tourist-center Hurricane Ridge, as soon as we hit the dirt road\u00a0we transended\u00a0into acres of glacial lilies and almost no cars or people. It’s amazing how park visitors all clump together in herds.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0drifts still melting on one of the largest snowpacks on record, neither of us have ever seen such an amazing display of alpine flowers. It’s not just summer August flowers, but spring glacier and fawn lilies to mid-summer tiger lilies. The place is awash in perfume, and as\u00a0we sat on the edge of this field of color I watched a big bumblebee slowly weaving around like\u00a0it was drunk, going\u00a0from one bisort bloom to the next, completely ignoring all the other species. So, was this bisort Sunday, followed by lily Monday and paintbrush Tuesday?<\/p>\n

This ORIGINAL painting is varnished acrylic on linen canvas, 8″ x 10″ and $120 unframed.
\nThe nice wooden frame makes it a total of $145 and shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame. This is the original painting, NOT a print.

Thanks for reading this week.
