We’ve had visitors lately and one of the “must see” places to go is Hurricane Ridge. We visited two weeks ago. The wildflowers were so breathtaking it wouldn’t have been surprising to see Julie Andrews cresting the hill singing, “The hills are alive with the sound of m-u-u-u-u-sic.”
I’d brought along my camera bag but with the hubub of organizing our small group, well. . .one lens made it and the camera stayed home, hiding under a hat. So here is a view, taken a week later. The lupine are still there but the great swath of avalanche lilies was much diminished. This view is looking north. Below is Port Angeles and beyond is the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
We went to Hurricane Ridge a second time last Saturday. The camera made it this trip. It was a sunny day. A weekend. And it’s August. Suffice it to say we were not alone.
glad you had the camera the second time. 🙂 It does look gorgeous.
It does lok terriff, but my that is a crowd!
that is a wonderful view. it must feel as though you are atop the world!
Me and my family are going to move to Sequim on Sunday. We are also thinking of going to hurricane ridge. Thank you for your blog, and great pictures!
Wow, great pictures! It’s so beautiful, and I like the lavender too! Amazing blog!
Magnificent sight! I’m still smiling at Julie Andrews singing! 🙂 🙂 🙂
What a view! Lucky you!
thats so very beautiful… and i love the purple, ofcourse..
funny that you left your camera under a hat… ! i recently thought i had lost a lens. couldnt find it for nearly a month and was sooo sad.. then suddenly i found it in a bag with the empty cans we needed to bring to the store..
That sky might be the richest blue I can remember. Beautiful!
