PNW Beauty

It's been a busy fast week with my sister Shana

and her son visiting from Arizona.

We did some great hikes east of the mountains and

took in much of the sunshine each day.

Above is one of my fav walks around Gold Creek Pond Trail

just east of Snoqualimie.

It's just beautiful in every season, but the biggest treat while if you visit, you just may get a personal fly-by by some F-18's that 

train there throughout the canyon. 

We happen to get lucky the day we were there with 4 fly by's!

The tend to fly low and turn the jet in circles so it's quite a show!

This large pond is glacier feed leaving the colors

that reflect off the sky and clouds and depth of the water

beyond stunning......

Next up was a hike along the Yakima river

which was running high with from the run off. 

Here's my sissy..

The hubs and my nephew Kian 

Our last stop was Lake Cleelum

We kept so busy this week taking in all of the outdoors

for them to enjoy.  The heat in Arizona is in the 100's

so this was a treat for them.
