Lupine and Balsamroot
This little known pasture is located adjacent to the Columbia River Gorge. I stumbled upon this glorious scene by accident while visiting friends in the city of Hood River. The field was laden with purple lupine and yellow balsamroot as far as the eye could see. I was fortunate to capture this scene during a lull in the famed Columbia River winds and with a slightly overcast sky to my back which served to soften the sun’s light and enhance the already wondrous natural colors. Prints of this scene have taught me that serendipitous photographic opportunities are sometimes the best ones.
