Nooksack Tower looks gnarly from this angle!

Thanks!

Ha, perhaps!

Thank you, Dr., mine too!

Thanks, Jill!

One of my favorite peaks in that area. Glad you had good views.

Whoa, cool optical illusion!

A long-distance, hazy shot of the layered Cascade Mountains taken from Hozomeen Mountain South Peak near the Canadian border by Ross Lake. Mount Shuksan rises in the mid-ground and the larger Mount Baker stands prominently in the distance against a light blue sky.

A close-up view of the rugged, snow-covered Mount Shuksan in the midground, with the massive, white peak of Mount Baker visible in the background under a pale blue sky, taken from Hozomeen Mountain's main Peak near the Canadian border by Ross Lake.

Peaks of a feather, crowned in ice.

A tranquil Mountain Lake on Orcas Island, situated below Mount Pickett, with the forested hillsides reflecting in its still waters. The scene is framed by branches and tree trunks in the foreground, creating a sense of natural seclusion.

After the rain.

Thanks! Indeed, too many places, too little time. Those are definitely two of the many great trails.

Weird this comment somehow got suppressed! Thanks, but never say never. 😀

Ha, no it wasn't me. Could you please DM me the link, I'd like to check it out.

Sunset over snowy ridge from Neve Col camp in the North Cascades National Park. Evening Light glows on snow, with Paul Bunyan's Stump, etc. across the Colonial Glacier.

A small boat floats on Puget Sound at sunset, with dramatic dark clouds above and golden sunlight breaking through. The Olympic Mountains form a distant silhouette.

You shine a light for me, and set me free.

Thank you!

Lost Balloons / 遺失的氣球 Various balloons encountered in the backcountry, off-the-beaten-path places over the years. Most were foil, with a handful of latex ones.

Ditto! I've picked up many in hold-in-the-wall places over the years. flic.kr/s/aHBqjBXMVm

I don't remember reeds being this costly, but glad we made our own back then.

I swear it wasn't me! 🤣

According to Google Lens, they could be 1. White-dotted Prominent and 2. Robber fly.

Lights and shadows, a silent, shifting show.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

That's a hard one to photograph given the position of the staircase and the proximity!👏

Ohhh, I've wondered how to get to this side. Did you walk along the tracks or take the trail from Canyon Road?

Grotto Mountain (Wild Sky Wilderness) blog post.

It was the closest easterly view of this famous double-summited feature in the North Cascades.

I enjoy traversing these broad, scenic ridges on the peninsula!

"Who are you, Deirdre?" That's the name I gave her.

I don't trust people to self-govern in that place. 😱

I will lose my sanity over these pictures. 🤣

Mount Adams on the left and Mount Saint Helens on the right. The snow-dusted strip in between is the Goat Rocks.

Now where is my prize, dang it! 🤣
Summit Lake and Coplay Lake north of the volcano.
