I'm Back

Hello! I am back from Washington. Although bad weather shut me out on several days, I did manage to get a few photos that I am proud of. I drove up to the Mt. Shuksan area last Friday and hiked into the waist deep snow to set up for this shot. Although it was frigid outside, I was thrilled when the sky turned pink, red, and orange just before sunrise.

After this shoot, I am now a big believer in snow shoes. Hiking into waist deep snow in hiking boots is extremely exhausting!

In further anticipation of my trip to Washington state, I am posting another winter photo from the Mt. Baker area in Northwest Washington. I took this photo after a light snowfall last year. After you have spent some time in the south where it does not snow, you come to realize there is nothing like the smell of evergreen trees and the sight of snow sprinkling the trees. I am looking forward to my visit back.
