Photographed at Lake Elizabeth, a small alpine lake in the North Cascades and a favorite place for scenery, for native orchids, and for other wildflowers. The road up to the lake, a Forest Service road that is quite rough in places is about seven miles and this was taken near the beginning of the road. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/08/lake-elizab...

Another photograph from Lake Elizabeth, but taken earlier in the summer and on a better day than the previous photos. The Western Tiger Swallowtail is Papilio rutulus. In eastern North America it is replaced by the very similar Papilio glaucus, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/08/lake-elizab...
