A Winter’s Day

Not much of a story for this entry. Here’s a variety of photos from another bluebird day up at the Mount Baker Ski Area and the North Fork Nooksack River valley. The river photos are from another new section of the river for me. A nice spot with some twists and turns in the river and the added bonus of a view of Mount Sefrit in the distance.

Paradise

Earlier in the week, one of the Seattle weathermen indicated the possibility that sunsets later in the week might be enhanced due to ash from Alaska’s Mount Redoubt. As the weekend approached, the odds for sunny weather increased greatly so I made plans to head to the snow covered meadows of Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park. Fresh snow still flocked the trees and the sunshine make for one spectacular scene.

Although I had no specific place in mind, I snowshoed out towards the Edith Creek basin. Although winds were forecasted, they turned out to be much stronger than I thought they would be. Despite the sunshine, the winds were unrelenting so I retreated to find another vantage point for sunset. In the end, sunset didn’t live up to its potential but still delivered on a fine day…
