Turn Which Way?

Taken today at Mt Rainier, Sunrise...hike to Dege Peak. NIkon 14-24 mm, at F16 and 24mm, for about 1/125th ss. I tried this comp surrounded by natural dirt, rocks, and sticks...which looked fair. Instead, for the black b/g a velvet 8x4 cloth I use for camera/gear padding was wadded up and tucked-in under the plant. I carry it just in case a subject needs to be isolated which spares me doing it pp. It doubles as an afternoon blanket for napping while I wait for the sunset...lol.

Hi Mark W: Mt Dege hike ...great, as always. The flowers are not massive...better than last year... should peak around the meadows near Sunrise w/in next 10 days. I did not stop and shoot any flower scenes..as they seemed a tad sparse and Mt R was shrouded in fog too from 10 am till later.
