[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I found these tiny wildflowers on a west facing slope near the summit of Hamilton Mountain. The slope was moss covered but in a very sunny location at about 1500-1800 ft elevation.
***
I finally found some information online about this flower, it is Western Saxifrage (Saxifraga occidentalis). Western saxifrage may be found on seasonally moist (spring) slopes, cliffs, and banks from sea level to alpine habitats.
It may be found from British Columbia south on both sides of the Cascades to northwest Oregon, and east across Oregon and Washington to Idaho, Montana, northwestern Wyoming, and as far south as Elko County, Nevada. In Canada, it may be found as far east as Alberta.

In the Columbia River Gorge, it may be found between the elevations of 100'-4500' from near Crown Pt. in the west to as far east as The Dalles, OR.

Wow this turned out nice. Is this the one you climbed up that slope to take? I've looked in my wildflower book, but don't see anything like it. Very sharp, clear photo, well done.

Halo Julie!
Wonderful, charm photo with great POV!
