For me, the official end to winter comes with the closing of the Mount Baker Ski Area at the last weekend of April. Of course, finishing winter with fresh powder and no lift lines is somewhat cruel but it’s also a fine way to end a season. The month of May could shape up to be very busy for me since I have a number of photography ideas to pursue. It all (hopefully) starts next weekend!
Other commitments and priorities have continued to sideline me from more regular updates but I’m looking forward to more regular updates starting with this one..
Friday brought sunshine and highs in the low 50s so I decided to take advantage of it in advance of a more traditional rainy winter weekend. I decided to head out the North Cascades Highway in hopes of photos and Bald Eagles. I only saw 2 or 3 eagles but the views are always stellar along the highway…
Some views from the Diablo Lake overlook:
The most interesting things were the icicles found in the sheltered areas alongside the highway..
Interesting contrast between the ice and moss on the rocks..
