Happy Creek - February 8, 2017

Abundant fresh and falling snow was the highlight of this outing. Breaking trail was hard but invigorating work.

 The shapes formed by the heavy snow made interesting sculptures.

Big Four - January 4, 2017

It was about 10 degrees Farenheit when we began walking and was about 16 when we returned to the cars. However these temperatures didn't chill our enthusiasm for an otherwise bluebird day.

 Do you think I'm enjoying myself?

Camas (Once Again) - December 29, 2016

I was here by myself 2 1/2 weeks ago. This time I returned with Kay and friends to enjoy another beautiful winter day.

Camas Land - December 10, 2016

I took the opportunity to get out on my own on this fine day. It made me full of anticipation for the adventures yet to come this winter.

Ponderosa pine bark against a deep blue sky is one of my favorite sights especially when there is fresh snow around.

White Salmon Ridge - December 7, 2016

Snow has returned to the Cascades so I scheduled the first snowshoe of the season.The snow was perfect and the trail already broken. The sky was clear and blue and there was absolutely no wind. It couldn't have been better and everyone had a great time. I forgot my camera in the car however, but thankfully there were a number who shared their pics so I was able to compile this post.

Mt. Shuksan is such a dramatic presence, and I never tire of viewing it.

 It was 14 degrees Fahrenheit in the parking lot but with no wind it was quite comfortable.
