These Snowberries, the fruits of a native shrub, were photographed on a hike to Newman Lake in eastern Washington with other family members. It has been a tough week. Our trip to Canada next month to see our grandchildren there had to be cancelled due to covid restrictions. We had a windstorm Wednesday that left us and many others without electricity and we are still without - maybe for another four or five days. We have a generator and have had that running for three days but can only run the refrigerator, a small heater and our phone chargers s from that. The storm also blew down a tree across the road and all the debris from that is piled in our front yard with little hope of it being removed soon.

Snowberry is common plant here in the Pacific Northwest. I have to keep them cut back around the edges of our property. Both flowers and berries, however, are beautiful and worth a photo. This photo was taken on a hike at Newman Lake, Washington, with family members.

These were photographed in Riverside Park, Spokane.

On one of our many trip back from eastern Washington, we took Highway 97 through Blewett Pass, between Ellensburg and Leavenworth, and detoured to drive the 10 miles of the Old Blewett Road, a road that is no longer maintained but that is a treasury of wildflowers, native orchids and butterflies. On this trip there were butterflies everywhere including hundreds of these Snowberry Checkerspots (Euphydryas colon) just where you would expect to find them, on the Creeping Snowberry plants and flowers. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/08/old-blewett...
