Last night I enjoyed a beautiful #sunset SUP on the sound with my kids!

Dense fog drifts through a misty alpine forest in the North Cascades, partially veiling tall evergreens that rise from a rocky, flower-dotted slope in the foreground. The atmosphere is quiet and mysterious, with soft light filtering through the haze.

Somewhere between the moss and the mist, I think I accidentally walked into another realm. If you don’t hear from me, assume I’ve befriended a raven and joined a council of tree spirits.

Fresh cooked crab on a blue melamine plate with a cup of melted butter. Yum!

The new #FoodOnFriday challenge! I like it 🩵

Sunset over Mirror Pond. Lightning is striking in the distance.

Another amazing #sunset last night!

Colorful pink, purple and orange clouds at sunset with a few trees silhouetted in the foreground.

Enjoyed a nice week off camping, boating & exploring #Shasta and #Lassen in sunny #NorthernCalifornia - back to work tomorrow!

Such cuties 🥰

Yes, the lake is right on the main highway through the park, looks to be south (and perhaps very slightly west) of Lassen Peak and the PCT is east.

Lake Helen still filled with snow and ice below Lassen Peak on a clear day.

It’s been a busy week at #LakeShasta

Thank you! 🙏

Arrowleaf Balsamroot, also known as Oregon sunflower, with their showy yellow flowers and purple lupine along a hiking trail with a view of several snowy peaks in the distance. The grey sky is heavy with clouds.

Tall trees and bright green ferns line a hiking trail under a cloudy sky.

From my walk in the woods yesterday.

It’s steep but, pretty short. I think I was there at a good time as we were in the shade. I think if you were hiking it in the full sun it would be pretty miserable! 🥵

Thank you!

It was a beautiful day!

One of my favorite places 🤩🙏

A snowy butte rises up in the distance under a partly cloudy sky. A lake rippling in the breeze and filled with many lily pads fills the foreground.

It was a little too chilly to paddle yesterday, so we just drove around and took pictures of the pretty lakes.
