Mt Hood in the clouds
Just calmly driving along a road I’ve not traveled in years. When to my delight Mt Hood peeked out between the trees, covered as it still was with clouds of all descriptions.

This looks like it’s a Male Speyeria callippe callippe Butterfly. It was seen near Little Crater Lake which is on the South West Side of Mt. Hood on July 7th, 2006.
He stayed remarkably still for me to take this picture and several others. For being as isolated as this area is though, there is little animal life readily visible. I’m sure that Cougars, Bears, Coyotes, Elk, and deer are around near dusk. But this meadow seems to be devoid of life other then plant. Perhaps there is a hidden marsh within it’s depths that just can’t be seen and is blocked off from human access.
