As I stepped out on to my balcony for an early morning coffee I beheld this view of Mt. Rainier. Since moving into the Pacific Inn earlier this week, clouds to the south have prevented this view from revealing itself. What a way to start a day... Photo-Journal...

As I walked down the trail to get as close to the herd as possible I came face-to-face with a big male as he stepped from behind some brush. He froze and starred, as did I, from about 25 feet, then he disappeared. I could hear him breathing!

Just before driving down to Sea-Tac for a flight to North Carolina I was admiring Hiromi's impressionistic rendering of Mount Rainier. Hiromi gave me this painting a month earlier on the occasion of my birthday. The day Hiromi gave me "Mount Rainier" turned out to be the last time I saw her.

Three hours after admiring Hiromi's rendering and 5 minutes into the flight out of Sea-Tac I beheld the sun rising over Mount Rainier. Thank you, Hiromi... Photo-Journal...
