“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on!” – Sheryl Sandberg
I know that I post a lot of Mt. Rainier pictures as my featured pictures. But I love the seasonal differences on our mountain that are evident even 60 miles away. Like this one taken at sunset this week (left) and you can see the full coat of snow that she has compared to when she’s melted out after a hot summer (right picture taken last August). Mt. Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the lower 48 of the US with 28 major glaciers. But the “snowiness” of the mountain still changes a lot.
A tryptech of my duo.
Young life…
Around the neighborhood. Not mentioning the sign because I didn’t read it.
May the 4th be with you!

I had no idea Mt. Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the lower 48 of the US. You taught me something new this morning, Wynne!

You captured two faces of the mountain (nice juxtaposition) and that horrendous orange smoke haze (gross, yuck and not looking forward to it) but both always give a sense of home 🙂

A sense of home – yes! Love our mountain! And yes, the summer haze isn’t a nice look.
