As the last light began to fade off the top of Mt. Baker tonight, I captured the near full moon rising between the silo and a pancake stack of lenticular clouds! What a stunning night!

Look at this!! My friend sent me a text yesterday that his echinopsis cactus was fully blooming, so I took some photos of it! I counted over 40 blooms on it. This cactus basically blooms in full for one day a year.
