April Powder

15″ of fresh snow and bluebird conditions in April at Mount Baker are hard to pass up. Here are some more shots from around the ski area. This time around I was more focused on small intimate scenes rather than grand views:

On my way home, I stopped off at an unsigned trail which enters some beautiful old growth. I couldn’t explore all of it but it had some interesting sights:

Three trees
Roots growing around a knot on an old-growth Douglas Fir
Interesting overturned tree stump
