Continuing with my wandering drive west across Washington....

Eventually I came to a place where I could pull off the road and get out of the car to take photos. This spot is on Manilla Creek Road in Ferry County. The view was stunning.

The lake seen here is the Sanpoil River arm of Lake Roosevelt.

The far horizon looked like it was sunset, although it was only about 2:45 in the afternoon. (The actual sunset was a few minutes after 4.)

This is Rubber Rabbitbrush. It was well past its peak bloom but it wasn't completely done with blooming.
