ABC Wednesday.
M is for magenta paintbrush-- one of three varieties I know of in the park.
M is also for marsh marigold.
M is for marmot.
The Moraine Trail has many lovely views. We can see this unnamed green lake from the Rim Trail, too. It is so green because of the reflection of light off of the glacial flour--a sediment of particles ground formed by the grinding action of the Emmons Glacier, which feeds the White River and whose waters also feed this lake. A Moraine is a landform created by the receding glacier.
And of course, M is for Mount Rainier.
Somehow, I knew you would have Mt. Rainier in there. . . was just surprised it wasn't first! All just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the MEMORIES!
Great choices for "M" photos! :)
ReplyDeleteYour Mt. Rainier reminds me of Mt. Baker that I can see on a clear day from my place.
ReplyDeleteLots of good M words. Have a great week! :D

Wow I love the view of Mt Rainier with its snow on top that's one of the differences between Mt Kinabalu here in Sabah, Malaysia.
