Mount Rainier is the most heavily glaciated peak in the lower 48 states at 35 square miles of snow and ice with Emmons Glacier being the largest by surface area with 4.3 square miles of ice. The Emmons is best viewed from Sunrise on the NE side of the mountain.

Last nights sunset...Mukilteo
An amazing area sunset, everyone seemed to have captured it.
Pink Sky and Clouds
True sunset occurs a minute or so before you see the sun disappear.
What you see is a kind of mirage; the light is getting bent around the horizon by the effect of refraction.

1 at beach getaway trip, Quileute Nation
We had so much fun per usual running logs and playing in surf.
Stuff like we always do around here!
"Thousands of winters before the arrival of the White Drifting-House people (ho-kwats), the Quileute Indians and the ghosts of their ancestors lived and hunted here.
For as long as the ageless memory of legend recalls, the Quileutes flourished in the territory which originally stretched from their isle-strewn Pacific beaches along the rain forest rivers to the glaciers of Mt. Olympus.
Today, Quileutes need only lift their eyes to see the burial place of chiefs atop James Island, or A-Ka-Lat -- translated as "Top of the Rock". This sense of cultural continuity is their birthright and heritage. Though much has changed, Quileute elders remember "back in the days" when the "old people" dared challenge kwalla, the mighty whale, and who recounted the exploits of wily raven or bayak, who placed the sun in the sky."Quileute Nation
Log strewn Beach, I used to run these logs, me and my Daisy..
Recent Beach Trip to 1st beach , LaPush
Climbed around on logs and played in surf.
Beautiful days and enjoyed the resort
So natural there.
Had to laugh. A man paid for his room and said," got a pool, right?", the girl answered, "yeah, we have the whole Pacific Ocean!"
Still chuckling...
These are common on our beaches
