Here is one from our recent trip up to Mount Rainier. These helabore are going nuts with all the cool wet moisture!! This was taken on the Skyline Trail above Paradise Lodge just below what was then the snow line.

I really like this. All the texture is really nice. The water adds a lot to it too.

I love it Rick. Nice color and patterns, and the water droplets add nicely.

Great job finding the order in the chaos of leaves. So many interesting lines and details. These plants reflect light so well that they seem to emit their own light. Your image captures that quality.
