Mt. Rainier

Yesterday we opted to unplug and take a vacation day. We have all been so busy this summer we barely had time to catch a breath, so we decided to go to Mt. Rainier National Park yesterday and explore. We have been there many many times, but we'd never been to the Sunrise visitor center on the Eastern side. No phone signal or internet for most of the afternoon and it was great! Here are just a few pics we took yesterday:



Spring in the PNW

Hello there! If you haven't been following the Seattle area weather, we've had more rain than we've had pretty much ever.  We are breaking all kinds of rain records!  But, even though I love the sunshine, I never take the GREENS for granted here in the PNW.  Without the rain we wouldn't be the lovely shades of all kinds of green this time of year.

I am sharing just a few cell phone snaps I took today of the state of the Mayflower Dairy Farm buildings. This property is now owned by the Pierce County Parks and will become Cross Park. For years photographers, Professional and otherwise, have been coming out and doing photo shoots on this great location. Unfortunately the state that the barns and properties are left in when some bad apples visit the location is going to ruin it for everyone else. In just the 2 days since I was out there last, there have been vehicles in the property driving about and creating destruction, there is trash left all over including McDonalds trash, and bags of household trash. I am sharing these quick #iphone snaps just to pass this message along. If you do not appreciate the property and destroy it for others, no one will get to appreciate it and the history will be gone.
