Here is a more broad view so you can see how the fields are coming along.

I was up there on Sunday and I was really surprised at how these things were blooming. There is a small park across the road from Rowena on the Columbia. The ground was just filled with these flowers. You sure did a good job of capturing them. I looked and decided to keep my camera in the bag. Sure wish I took it out after seen your images.. :toast:

Nice shot. I am at the KOA campground in Cascade Locks, so I guess I will head over there.

Planning to head out today...I think I'll take my macro lens as well (was just going to take the 24-105 and wide angle).

The lines going southwest to northeast in the image are bit distracting bu over all , probably better than I'd do macro wise!

I was at Rowena yesterday, and the grass widows are waning below the parking area. Lots of Yellow Bells coming up, as well Prairie Stars, Desert Parsley, and some kind of Arnica or Oregon Sunshine. I also saw something I've never seen before. It looked like an albino grass widow. If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will.
