Beargrass Bloom
This location was initially scouted by my friend Troy who has a passion for exploring wilderness areas. He suggested a quick trip to Coffin Mountain as the beargrass was “peaking”. Upon arrival the next evening, I realized that Troy's usual enthusiasm for alpine locations was perhaps understated in this instance. We were greeted by a sea of beargrass and lupines. As the distinctive blossom of the beargrass plant is one of my favorite alpine flowers, I went through a great deal of film that evening. Selecting a favorite image from this location has proven to be more difficult than composing and exposing them was.
