Hi Guys, First post here. Most people when they visit Mt Rainier and Lake Tipsoo usually don't take pictures of Yakima Peak, but Mt Rainier instead. Fortunately for me upon arriving at Lake Tipsoo, Yakima Peak wasn't covered in clouds and made for a good alternative. Thanks for looking.

    Welcome to dgrin thumb.gif

    Beautiful shots. The second one gives me that "Wizard of Oz" feeling.
    What color!

    Great shots, Deej! thumb.gif

    The blurred flower in the first one is a bit of a bummer for me because it's a bit distracting to an otherwise beautiful image. :cry

    The second one though... WOW! :jawdrop
    Simply stunning!

    Welcome! I look forward to seeing more of your work. I agree with everyone else about #2--gorgeous colors and lighting. It's a very inviting image.
