2005 Nature's Best Awards Competition

After the Snows
by Bob Johnson
(Plant Life Category)


Avalanche lilies are one of the first flowers to bloom after the snow melts in the mountains.  For a brief period, hillsides such as this turn white with flowers instead of snow.  This image was taken in Olympic National Park, Washington state.

Nikon D100 with Nikon 17-35mm AFS f/2.8 lens. Shot at f/22 for 1/125 second. 2-stop graduated neutral density filter. Camera resting on the ground.
