  • To be out in the mountains early in the morning and experience the sensation of seeing the sun rise over Mt Shuksan has to be a treasure I will remember forever.  We had come up the previous morning but the fog was so thick we could not even see any indication that the sun ever rose.  It was great on this morning when the fog drifted down into the valley a little while before the sun was scheduled to rise.  Truly a spectacular start to the day.

  • Rain and fog had settled into the Cascades as I walked to overlook the White River.  Fresh snow had fallen at higher altitudes and the yellow maples dotted the valley.  I stood for quite a while to enjoy the serene setting.  Little did I know that Mt Rainier towered over this scene through the distant fog.

  • Artist Point is high in Mt Baker National Recreational Area.  As I drove up to the parking lot this morning, I worried that the fog would be so thick that we couldn't see a thing.  Shortly after walking up onto the point, the fog began to flow like a river down into the valley.  It was still 30 minutes before the sun would rise and the light was soft and delicate.

  • The view down Bagley Creek is inviting for a long walk, enjoying the cool and calm feeling of early fall.  Fall flowers intersperse with red leaves of huckleberries as one wonders down to lower Bagley Lake.  This is a place to escape the rapidness of urban life.

  • The sun started to peak through the clouds as it continued to rain lightly.  As I was looking up river, an American Dipper flew into the picture and began to take a bath in the shallow water before flying up river.

  • Blue sky suddening appeared and the rain stopped.  The light on the alders made them shine and the mountain peak in the background stood out.

  • The landscape was constantly changing.  The clouds settled down close around me on the river and then would rise slowly for a few minutes.  At times, I could not see across the river to the forest on the far side.  It was fascinating and extremely serene.  I stood for quite a while watching the dynamic scene.  Eventually I realized I was getting cold in the drizzle and decide to head back toward the trail.

  • We waited to see if the setting sun would give some interesting color to Mt Shuksan when we noticed that fog was beginning to rise out of the valley.  Gradually the trees were engulfed by the fog  and it flowed across Picture Lake covering the mountain before the sunset.

  • Fog rose from the subalpine firs and twisted and turned, dancing like a ballerina down the valley.

  • The rain and fog formed numerous water droplets on the fruit and leaves of this mountain ash.  The subtle and rich colors in the soft light made the plant standout against the fog in the background.

  • The fog drifted across the water on Green Lake creating a tranquill atmosphere to the early morning.  The reflections were partially visible through the mist.  It was fun to sit a while and watch the mist gradually drift away.

  • The morning fog had formed ice crystals along the grain of the planks on the dock.  I was fascinated by the design it formed and how the early morning light made the crystals glow.  I looked for an appealing design.

  • Not a ripple was on Cranberry Lake as the sun began to rise.  The fisherman waited patiently for a fish to bite in the warm morning light and adjacent to the fall colors.  As I watched I could feel the tension in my body drift away with the morning fog and felt I could sit for hours enjoying the scene.
