My annual pilgrimage to photograph moose calves has been underway for a while now and, as usual, I’ve been unsuccessful. I’ve spotted two but they were either in dense foliage or it was too dark. But the search has led me to some beautiful places such as the scene photographed here. A couple of weeks prior, these meadows were covered in White Mule’s Ear, Wyethia helianthoides for the scientific types out there. But on the morning I came I created this image, the meadows were full of Blue Camas. For whatever reason, I had a hard time coming up with an image I was really satisfied with, probably because the actual flowers are smaller than on the Mule’s Ear, so it is more challenging to get them to make a strong impact in an image. A few clouds in the sky certainly would have been more to my liking as well, but it was still a great moment to be out early and enjoying the peace of nature.
