Anyway, to try and motivate myself to post more often I thought I'd get some new pictures up (cause I'm sure everyone is sick of seeing the same ones for the past several months).
These were taken on a recent hike up around Tiger Mountain. It was a great hike, and a really beautiful day with blue skies and sunshine. I will admit to complaining about how much "up" there was in the hike...Josh, be sure to read the elevation gain a bit more carefully next time. ;-) But the view and the snow at the top was worth all the pain. We started the hike with the regular lush green forest of Western Washington:
But the more we climbed up the more snow started piling up. By the top this is what it was like:
And from the very top we could see the Olympic Mountains in the distant west (the really small lumps in this picture):
Plus there were the rest of the Cascades to the east, and their foothills:
This is why I love Washington, even if the current weather is pissing me off...you east coasters can really take back your weather now...please! I miss having the ability to walk around without a coat during most of the winter!

I agree! Even though it's not as cold down here. It would be nice to be in the house without a blanket!
Pretty pictures! :D
Oof!
Yay!! Oona post! Beautiful pictures, too! It makes me jealous: I wish we could hike somewhere where there was snow. Well, I suppose we could, too, if we were willing to drive a little, but we're lazy over here. Plus, updating a blog regularly takes a lot of time! :D
there's cold in them thar hills.
Yuk yuk yuk.
