Happy birthday to this natural beauty located basically in our backyard - the Mount Rainier National Park.

Love this neighborhood whale shaped weathervane even more when it’s silhouetted against a gorgeous PNW sunset. . . . #pnw #sunset #whale #weathervane #silhouette #seattle #tacoma #washingtonstate #explorewashingtonstate #coastlife #cottoncandy (at Federal Way, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSOGFMn5pQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wx72plnqbh2b

This photo does little to convey the size of the logs in this stack waiting to be turned into lumber, and from that the possibilities are endless. I’d love to see this image turned into a large printed mural for a boutique hotel or a conference room. . “The axe forgets what the tree remembers.” - African Proverb . . #washingtonstate #scenicwa #explorewashington #loggerlife #proverb #pnw #renewable #nature #wood #woodworking #customwallpaper #wallpaper #seattle #tacoma (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPv30-HFbM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d04f1lgeebd

The last of the snow from last weekend, last flight of the day and the last one in the park as the last of the light just catches on the tops of the evergreens. . . . #tacomaparks #washingtonstate #scenicwa #explorewashington #overtacoma #tacoma #pnw #dronephotography #over #last (at Point Defiance Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPJahSHhna/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r9jzxcw9g73k

Sunny sunset over the South Sound with a featured appearance by the @tacomanarrowsbridge . . .

Windows: either man made or found in nature, are made for looking through. They focus ones attention to the beauty beyond.

Friday night feels - good night PNW. . After a week of weather chaos and trying to make up for lost time at work we are fully embracing the in bed early philosophy this weekend. . . . #funfactfriday #goodnight #dogsofinstagram #dogsofpugetsound #fridaynight #overit #pnwdogs #seattle #tacoma #pnw (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt7cywmHHGl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hrs3yfuh20hk

Snow day wanderings thru one of the many King County Parks. Hadn’t spent much time ate the Panther Lake park but it sure is pretty all covered in fresh snow. . . . #pantherlake #kingcountyparks #parks #kingcounty #snowday #trails #federalway #seattle #scenicwa (at Federal Way, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btw3Y9pHjbt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1md14g075ggp7

Snowmageddon Saturday - found a new way to frame my favorite little red boathouse this morning. I’m really liking how the evergreen branches help frame this little seascape. . . . #snowpocalypse #snowmageddon #pnwblizzard #stateofemergency #pnw #seattle #tacoma #snowday #seascape #scenicwashington #salishsea #pugetsound #snow #winter#king5 (at Federal Way, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btri6WLnw2q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ipkgg252s0b

Snowmageddon 2019, Day One - inches of snow have fallen and the region has gone mad. Supermarket shelves cleaned out, lines at the gas stations, businesses closing early - and I really want to wander about tomorrow with my camera capturing images of a rare PNW snowstorm. . . . #tacoma #seattle #snowmageddon #snowstorm #pnwonderland #pnwescapes #snowcovered #winter #pnw #canonusa #glazers #gritcitymag (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpA1fHHzDJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qjiagl7ohb8f
