Some scenery of MT Rainier today.

1.Christine Falls, making a rainbow. A pretty stop to make.

2. The porch at Longmire
3. Rainier from the porch.
4. Beargrass has taken to blooming.
5. A deer eats shrubbery at Paradise.

Beautiful weather.
Well maybe a bit too hot.
The mountain has gotten crowded.
You may want to wait.
Come back in the fall.

Still out cavorting around mountain meadows, running along logs and enjoying mountain air...

MT Rainier

It's a clear day at the mountain.
Saw 3 bears...
From a safe distance, like, bearly!^^
Mom and Cubs.
Black bear.

Common here.

So it's another sunny temperate day in the PNW, unusually sunny this year.

The mountain is beautiful too and some of the flowers are blooming. Bear Grass for instance. A few others.

Nice room at Paradise.
The lodge.

This was taken from Enumclaw.

Flowers and petals

A pink dogwood from

The Arbor Foundation. 

Started out a thin stick and now it's a bigger stick. 

The flowers are so vulnerable looking atop that tiny trunk. 

Happy Easter

Hoping you all dye eggs. 

It's fun and an ongoing tradition. 

Color is a spring tradition. 

The earth inspires... In spring.

Chaise is regal with the Ger wall cover. 

Tulip Bukhara suzani. 

A few minor changes. Drum, tsunami sculpture, green basket. Ok other stuff and a lot more to do. 

I am hardly mended from the surgery but I feel like I'm 16 again. Energy is returning. It's amazing, breathing. 

And pain going and still have some 

Tweaking to do but I am not sure I've ever felt this way exactly. 

Finally doctors and dentists are figuring it out. It's great.
