Taken August 2022. This is the Hurricane Hill hike.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: pinnacle.
I have not identified this wildflower. Maybe some pussytoes? From the first week of August, on Hurricane Hill.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
I fail to identify this plant. I think the flowers are past their peak, but it’s still a wonderful plant. This is from Hurricane Hill again, in the Olympic Peninsula.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
The trees on top of Hurricane Hill and the Olympic Mountains are carved and worn by wind and winter ice and snow. They have to be tough!
Also there are still patches of snow on the north faces.
The wildflowers don’t care.

Another picture from last week, up on Hurricane Ridge.
Harebell, campanula rotundifolia, from here.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
Yesterday I woke to low clouds and slight sky spitting. A friend and I drove up to Hurricane Ridge and climbed Hurricane Hill. I am delighted that I can do it without oxygen! I get short of breath if I climb AND try to talk. He had to do most of the talking.
We drove out of the cloud as we got to Port Angeles and it was just gorgeous on top of Hurricane Ridge. There were lots of people up there. Tons of wildflowers, too and views of the Olympic Mountains. At the top we were looking at Vancouver Island and Canada to the north across the strait. A beautiful climb and a beautiful day.

I think this is Oregon Sunshine, Eriophyllum lanatum, or else it’s an arnica. There are a lot of yellow wildflowers, here.
Some of the creative paths that escaped from my brain!
