Change is in the air...Summer is departing and Autumn is starting to show her colors to us all. Here is an image of Mount Rainier(Tahoma) last October with Reflection Lake in the foreground. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful National Park, however if you do, please follow the rules and stay on the paths to avoid further damage to the very sensitive meadows.

Visiting Mt. Rainier is always breathtaking, however I've always wanted to go during Autumn to photograph the fall foliage. This photo was created October 14th. A week later, the scene was under the first snowfall of the season!

Reflection Lakes at Mount Rainier National Park. This photo was created in late June '21 during an unprecedented heatwave leading to an extreme snow runoff. Many who are familiar with Mt. Rainier can't remember a time when she looked so bare. In fact, those climbing to the summit at 14,411 feet could have worn shorts as the temps at summit were in the 60's..!

Christine Falls in Mt. Rainier National Park. The water was roaring with snow melt off when we visited in late June '21, during an unprecedented heatwave for Washington State. Temperatures were soaring at record levels over 100°+
