We’ve been experiencing crisp, clear days and nights coupled with stunning sunrises and sunsets – it’s been so clear Mt Baker has been visible the last couple of days.

This evening’s sunset faded through the blues, magentas and yellows finishing with a blood red mushroom cloud – unfortunately I had only the iPhone and the photo didn’t come out so your imagination will have to suffice.

Sunrise over the Cascades.

Mt Rainier in the morning sun – even in the photo the sun is nearly blinding.

The lighting was terrific and the sky so clear the glaciers were crisp with the naked eye.

I love the sunset – the glow around Rainier is awesome but the evening sun shining off the windows of West Seattle is really a show too.
