Foggy, cloudy, rainy weather at Mt. Rainier takes your attention from the mountain (you can't see it, after all) and forces it on those things which are near at hand. For some people, this is especially true. Some can be so overwhelmed by the majesty of the mountain on a sunny day that they don't notice.

Because it was fog more than rain, the droplets on the lupine leaves are tiny.

Beautiful shots, Katney! Those mist-shrouded peaks and vibrant wildflowers are all so lovely. I'm ready to go for a hike! Some of these varieties are new to me ~ thanX for the lesson.
I used to try to identify flowers and weeds -- went to the library and checked out several books but never got far besides looking at pictures. I envy your knowledge of them -- of course you do it as a natural thing!
