Silver Star Mountain is easily visible from much of the Portland and Vancouver area, and is located about 28 crow-flying miles northeast of home. In late spring I hiked to its summit from Grouse Vista. The outing was described in a previous blog post.
Due to the variety of photography opportunities, I decided to split the photos in two. This is the second batch focusing on lilies.
Rock Creek Falls
Bead Lily
Oregon Flag
Clodius Parmassian (well camouflaged)
Trillium (wild Lily)
Oregon Anemone

A really beautiful place—close enough to visit from time to time.
Lucky, you are!
Living in Portland is great for an outdoors-minded person. Silver Star Mountain, the Columbia River Gorge, the Cascades and the Oregon Coast are all nearby. Lucky, I am!
