Thanks for the nice comment, Elizabeth. The hiker, Jack, was afraid that he would get very wet and very cold since the runoff stream was all glacial melt-water. He must have stood there for five minutes before he jumped and I had my eye to the viewfinder the whole time. The rock he was...

I think this meets the criteria: JohnL

I've seen Tejas' name in many articles in the climbing magazines over the years but I think the most interesting new bit of information about him in this article is that he lives in Greenwich Village. JohnL

Not an alpine flower but an interesting little bloomer nonetheless. Partridge-berry JohnL

As other have said, the lower part of the North Slide is the trickiest due to the mossy and potentially slippery parts but once you break out into the open, there are no footing problems, IMO. I’ve climbed up the North Slide in the rain and had no issues. It’s all about having shoes with good...

Very nice to see you as well and allow me to offer you and your friends a belated "How do you do." Too bad you missed the foxes. The little ones were so cool to watch running around and sparring with each other. See you on the trails. JohnL

On my drive to the trailhead early Saturday morning, I spotted a fox in the driveway of the motel across the road from the Mt Washington Hotel. I stopped but I wasn't able to get my camera out of my pack in time to capture an image. However, when I got to the Crawford Path trailhead, there...

More wildflower finds from the weekend: Labrador Tea Appalachian Sandwort Squarrose Knapweed Maple-leaved Viburnam (with bee) Yellow Clintonia Hmmm, I can't identify this one. Any ideas? JohnL

Alpine Flowers Diapensia, Alpine Azalea and Lapland Rosebay The entire summit cone of Mt Eisenhower was covered with these three alpine flowers. JohnL

Simon Yates runs a guiding service. Perhaps he can enlist her as a client. He'll know what to do with her. JohnL

With no wind and an hour to kill after work last night, I headed off to the open land under the power lines to check out any wildflower opportunites. Here are what I found: Star Chickweed ******* Toadflax Sheep Laurel Dame's Rocket White Campion Unknown (any ideas?) JohnL

Skunk Cabbage JohnL

Your first image is fantastic! Great expression, posture and splash. Looks as though he is about to be up close and very personal with you. Nice job of holding your ground and holding the camera steady. JohnL

Great thread! Some great images from everyone. I found this little beauty while on my hands and knees getting some images of some Yellow Wood Sorrel. It is Corn Speedwell and it is the tiniest flower I have ever come across. Blue-eyed Grass Mouse-ear Chickweed Oh yeh, here's the Yellow...

I have been approached about the use of some of my photographs in an upcoming publication, a book on wildflowers to be exact. I need some help on granting permission for use of my images so that my images are protected but I don't get overly involved in the legalese of the process. Any advice...

If they were raindrops they would need to be fairly close to the camera; close being within 20 feet or so. Since you seem to be standing near the edge of a cliff, it could be surf spray droplets which the wind could push up and over the edge of the cliff. I've seen it happen on the Cliffs of...

They look like falling water droplets to me. It could have been a few stray rain drops or surf spray. If you look closely you'll see one spot in the clouds in the upper right corner of the image, as opposed to the other 4 spots which are in the sky area below the clouds. The things that...

I found these beauties this morning in a walk in the woods just outside my neighborhood: JohnL
