Mt. Rainier

I was hoping for a good wildflower season at Mt. Rainier this year. That hasn't yet (and probably won't) materialize, but it's an incredibly photogenic mountain regardless.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the past few weeks, with hopefully more (as of yet untaken) shots to come later.
#1 - Lenticular (and friends) sunrise. The most impressive color show I've seen at sunrise at Mt. Rainier
#2 - Early morning fog
#3 - Pastel dawn at Eunice Lake
#4 - Moonlit mountain and stars reflecting in Reflection Lake
#5 - Comet Falls - my favorite waterfall in the park

Do I have to choose a favorite?

I love the shape of the circles on your star trails shot, too. Is that from wide-angle distortion or are we on a different astronomical orbit than before? I like that look.

I used Lightroom for RAW editing, and Photoshop to blend the exposures (using layers and masks, not tonemapping). All of these photos are actually exposure blends. #1 was a blend of three exposures (two for the sky, one for the foreground), #2 and #3 were blends of two exposures each. #4 was a combination of about 20 or so 4 minute exposures (each imported into a layer with the blending mode changed to "Lighten" so that the stars show through, I then chose my favorite foreground of the bunch and used it). The last one was a single RAW image double processed, once for the water, and once for the rest, and then blended in Photoshop (exposing correctly for the water makes the rest underexposed, so that's why I needed to double process the single RAW file).

I am extremely fortunate. And yes, you have to pick a favorite!

The correct time is all the time so that you increase your odds. Be thankful I didn't post all the photos from when the light didn't cooperate!

You too - I'm really glad you had a chance to see Rainier under some pretty epic conditions, given that the wildflowers were underwhelming this year.

I thought you were using Chrome instead of Firefox now? Either way, thanks for the compliment
I believe you are correct that that's wide angle distortion, here's another wide angle shot that shows the same effect:
