[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the trail up to Angels Rest we found these lovely daisies dotting the hillside. I believe this variety is the Howell's Daisy (Erigeron howellii) which is one of the 16 endemic plants found here in the Columbia River Gorge.

Howell's daisy is a very pretty perennial wildflower often found in clusters of plants with several stems rising from a rhizome. The stems range from 20-50 cm in height. The leaves are thin, smooth, and a shiny green, with the lower ones elliptic to suborbicular, with the blade abruptly contracted to the 2-12 mm petiole. The lower leaves range from 2-8 cm long and 1.5-4.5 cm wide. The stems are many-leaved, with the leaf bases clasping. These leaves are ovate to cordate in shape.

The flower heads are solitary at the tips of the stems. The yellow central disks measure 12-20 mm wide, and 30-50 white rays surround the circumference of the disk. Individual rays are 13-25 mm long and 2-4 mm wide.

Howell's daisy is found only in the Columbia River Gorge. It is found on the Oregon side of the river between Angels Rest and Wind Mt. between the elevations of 200'-4000'.

Hi Lori, a nice composition.
Lovely POV and I like the small flowers on blurred in the BG.
Andrea

Hi Lori,
Excellent composition and framing on this. I love the frame filling shot yet the other slightly OOF daises in the backround really add to the shot. Colors and detail look great. Nice shot!

I like the lines and framing...
Greetings,
