Mt Baker Scenic Highway

We took a quick drive up to the Mt Baker area - a first for us (and you must be wondering how we could not have already been everywhere around here and you'd be right to speculate...) It is one of those places that is so big and the mountains so steep that capturing it in a picture is challenging. We did get the classic photo of Mt Shuksan reflected in Picture Lake, and, of course, Baker itself is the snow-covered one in the background.

Fireweed

From this weekend's excursion, Fireweed blooming in the Cascade Mountains.
