Ape Cave and Bear Grass

Yesterday I had the privilege of hanging out with my long-time friend, Suzanne. We spent the day in the Mount St. Helens area, hiking the entire length of the 2+ mile long Ape Cave and checking out the St. Helens area. It was beautiful and full of wildflowers, and it was wonderful to catch up with Suzanne again!!

Suz told me to frolic among the wildflowers. So here I am, frolicking... ;)

The flowers were prolific. And magnificent!
