I love how I always see many photos of interesting clouds swirling around the summit of Rainier.

Paradise Valley, Mt. Rainier National Park
Panorama of Paradise Valley in Mt. Rainier National Park. 9 exposures stitched, Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM.
A roadside wildflower. There were some wildflowers flowering in July, but not a lot. When I go back later in the summer there should be more – and (almost) no snow!

Mt. Rainier from Rickesecker Point
More shots of Mt. Rainier. These were taken on lookouts on the stretch from the Nisqually River Bridge to Ricksecker Point.
This is probably my favourite Mt. Rainier panorama I took from this point. Sadly the frame on the far left is missing… there was a large insect or something in the way of my lens at the time and it was unrecoverable. Still, I like the colours – I should get a polarizer on my other big lenses.
4 exposures stitched – Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM + circular polarizer.
What follows is a lot of obvious option paralysis as to what shots to actually choose for inclusion here. I guess I’m just not in a mood to cull a lot today.

Mt. Rainier – Longmire to Christine Falls
Black Tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) near Longmire in Mt. Rainier National Park
The Nisqually River is fed by the Nisqually Glacier on the southern side of Mt. Rainier. Heavy flooding in 2006 eroded the banks. I’m sure I would have wanted to be anywhere near the place when it crested.
Nisqually River just south of the Cougar Rock Campground. 9 exposures stitched – Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM.
