Last weekend I had the good fortune to backpack the High Divide and Sol Duc River trail, enjoy an overnight at Lunch Lake and summit Bogachiel Peak for unobstructed views of Mount Olympus.

When I woke up this morning I took a double-take, “Is that snow?” Indeed it had snowed again – our flowers and budding bushes and trees endured another bout of Mother Nature’s confusing spring.

We had some fantastic weather today and I had a couple hours in the afternoon with nothing to do so I strolled around the yard making photos.

A quick garden update. We have a large grove of hydrangea starting to flower but the small buds really catch my eye.
