In honor of my heading up to the great Northwest, I am posting some pictures of some cool Rhododendrons (Washington's State Flower). These are not Washington's Coastal Rhododendrons but their giant Himalayan cousins.

I took these pictures a few years ago on a trip to Sikkim in Northeastern India. It was beautiful and magical and had some of the nicest people I have ever met. Well worth the multi-day train rides, buses, special travel permits and days of hiking.
