MORE pretty flowers.....by now my cousin would be staring, mesmerized, at the computer, saying, "Pretty flowers, pretty flowers..."

Pretty flowers.

The meadow we ate lunch at was beautiful.

Mt. Rainier National Park, WA.

We ate at this pond, and there was an uber cool reflection....had to take a picture.

Mt. Rainier National Park, WA.

Ahhhh....Mt. Rainier......Ok, funny story. Gotta tell it. Seems to fit.

So my brother's god father is some sort of bio-physicist/chemist (I honestly don't know) and he was trying to decide where to hold this big convention in Seattle. So while he and his bio chemist/physicist friend were at the Palicades Restaurant, and they had a view of Mt. Rainier. So they ask a waiter how tall the mountain is, and he says, "I dunno, around 4,000 feet I think, but I'll go ask." Ok, so 7 for 7 waiters do not know how high Mt. Rainier is. Then they get the chef from the kitchen, and he says, "It's around 14,400 feet." So, moral is, if you're gonna work in a fancy restaurant with a view of Mt. Rainier, know how high it is! :)

I like taking pictures of water now......

My family and I went on a hike up at Spray Park, in Mt. Rainier National Park, this past weekend. Got some pretty good shots of the mountain and the wild life.....or lack there of....

Lots of little creeks on this climb.....and water is so beautiful.....

A quizzical man. And I thought that graffiti artists couldn't do cool stuff.

Well, I am now 20 pictures down and have 345 to go. (That sort of scares me) But, none the less, I shall persevere and show 365 pics this year.

On a completely unrelated topic, I went to Bumbershoot in Seattle Center yesterday with my family, and if you have never gone, YOU SHOULD GO!!!!!!!! It is AWESOME!!!! They have great bands playing, cool food and arts booths and a poster sale (vintage posters for musical groups in the 60's through 90's) It is quite fun!

Some pretty awesome graffiti at an art exhibit.
