I went hiking today with the intention of doing a 6 mile R/T hike to Peek-A-Boo Lake in the Glacier Peak Wilderness area near Darrington, WA. I got most of the way to the trailhead and found the road totally washed away from the storm damage in 2001. Since I was only a couple miles from the "real" trailhead, I found a way around the washed out road on foot. I only got about a mile in when I had seen my 10th pile of bear droppings. Since I was alone and had no bear bells or bear spray, I figured I'd rather be safe than dead. I think the bears have reclaimed this territory for themselves for now. I headed back down the mountain and found a short one mile jaunt down the Sauk River to fill my time. Lots of flowers and I still got a view of the mountains. Not my ideal kind of hike, but it will have to do.

I love those gorgeous bright greens, and the depth of field is wonderful--great shot!
