Summer was so wonderful this year - though short, so we took advantage of any good weekend weather and took a day trip. This trip was to Cascades National Park, north and east of Bellingham. We had a gloriously sunny day - perfect temperature too.
On the way we stopped at this farm and took pictures of the poppy garden . . .
Amazing flowers . . .
People used wood pieces in unusual ways in their yards - this crooked limb
made a perfect plant hanger . . .
Another plant hanger . . .
The rocks in Washington are stunning . . .
You can see how massive this rock wall is when compared to our car . . .
Driving along the Skagit River. . .
The river changed at every turn - each view more spectacular . . .
Look out - tunnel ahead - why didn't they warn me?
Light at the end of the tunnel . . .
This was our view while we ate our picnic lunch . . .
Giant cedar trees along the river . . .
Rocks and waterfalls at the dam . . .
And the river again . . .
Scenic mountain views were everywhere . . .
A mountain in the distance . . .
And close-up with the new camera . . .
A unique mountain top - love that zoom !
A day spent in the mountains is so refreshing to the body and soul . . .
