Sulphur-flower Buckwheat

This is another wildflower from the Washington part of our recent trip, the Sulphur-flower Buckwheat is common but a brightens the landscape when there is not a lot else blooming. The photos were taken in Dry Falls State Park and along the Old Blewett Road in Blewett Pass.

I've been away for a few days backbacking with my wife and oldest daughter. She had not been backpacking before and so we took her on a less scenic but also easier trail, the Thunder Creek trail in the North Cascades. We did about 22 miles in two days and camped one night.
