Mother Nature is such a tease.

Few people? ✅️
Isolated? ✅️
Mountain view? ✅️
Lake nearby? ✅️
Snow? ✅️
But the real reason I had to move to Lake Cushman...
#LakeCushman
The Bear Gulch #wildfire near #LakeCushman has been burning for a couple of months now, still only about 9% contained, impacting about half my favorite #PNW #hiking trails. Some of them are in my hiking video from a few years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHWG...
Beyond disgusting!
The contracted crews were out there doing what they were contracted to do!
Cbp is doing too much, and have been for some time.
Yeah, let's pause the fire to check IDs. 🤦♀️😡

Gnarled old-growth, near Staircase Rapids last year.
Been thinking about this area a lot and how changed it'll be the next time I make it back. With the Bear Gulch Fire set to burn til Winter, it may be awhile.

The Bear Gulch fire in Washington state is 4500 acres and rapidly growing. Old growth has been lost. Protected wilderness decimated. (Not my photos) #fire #forest #nationalpark #OlympicNationalPark #LakeCushman #PNW #Washington
View through green leafy branches of a sunlit, clear blue lake with rippling water. In the background, forested mountains rise beneath a bright blue sky. A pine branch stretches over the water in the foreground. Peaceful and vibrant summer scene in nature.
The water is so clear you can see the light dancing on the rocks below the surface.
We don’t need to pave over every quiet place. We need wild water, tall trees, and stillness more than ever.
Hold onto what heals. Protect what remains.

Took a friend to the #olympicnationalpark to see one of my favorite spots. We got a little #cheeky with it.

Hiked Mt. Ellinor Today. View of Lake Cushman. Mt. Ellinor, Mount Skokomish Wilderness. Washington. #photography #art #landscape #nature #ScenicView #hike #hiking #MtEllinor #Washington #PacificNorthwest #LakeCushman #wilderness
Point-and-shoot simply doesn't cut it sometimes. The three-volcano view came as a surprise given the cloudy forecast before leaving the DSLR behind. Alas.

A black labrador retriever stands on a summit downed log amid light tree debris and gazes out to Puget Sound under a cloudy sky. Dow Mountain and Lake Cushman are in the foreground and Mount Rainier in the distance.
A black labrador retriever stands on light tree debris and stares ahead at the camera. The snow-capped Mount Ellinor looms amid light clouds behind the forested summit.
A black labrador retriever dashes through the slope under light tree debris and lush thin shrubs with Puget Sound in the backdrop under a cloudy sky.
Not too shabby of a view beyond logging territories!
