Color photo. A plant growing out of a crack in a lichen covered rock. The plant has a long orange stem that fades to yellow-green at the end, where it splits out into a cluster of flowers with green and yellow petals. The stem is has a collection of small leaves growing from it that match the color of the part of the stem they grow from. The base, at the crack, is a collection of larger orange leaves, with smaller green ones beside them.

Since all of the photos in the last post were black & white, I figured I’d do a post of colorful photos from the same trip.  🙂

All of these were taken at Deception Pass State Park, mostly in the Rosario Head area.  The lead photo is, I think, Broadleaf Stonecrop.  I’ve seen it before in other places growing, as its name implies, from cracks in stone, and its shock of bright color against grey rock always grabs my eye.

I’ve also included a color version of one of the photos from the prior post.  While I, personally, like it best in black & white, it works in color too I think.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

Color photo. Rosario Beach, at Deception Pass State Park. There is pebbly sand at the bottom, with rocks on the left. Across the bay is a hill, with yellow cliffs above the green-blue water. Above the cliffs are green trees. Left of the hill, a small flat island rises from the water. The blue sky is filled with wispy white clouds.
Color photo. The bottom third is an earthy slope with a cluster of brilliant yellow flowers growing from it. Above, the blue sky is barely visible past streaks of wispy clouds.
Color photo. A wooden sculpture, known as The Maiden of Deception Pass. It depicts a Native American woman with long hair, her arms raised high, holding a salmon.
Color photo. Urchin Rocks, a collection of small rocky islands near Rosario Head in Deception Pass State Park, progressing up in the bottom third of the frame. White waves are washing against the closest rocks. In the middle distance there is a rocky island. Above, the sky is full of wispy clouds.
