Some photos from a recent trip to California. I usually fly the same route but this trip was at unusual hours for me resulting in new views of the same volcanoes.

We enjoyed a beautiful day in the sun shopping the Rotary Auction and paddling in Eagle Harbor. The views of the mountains in all directions were stunningly clear which reminded me (as did our recent camping trip) of some unusual photos of Mt Rainier and the neighboring ranges I took way back in November while traveling.

I open the window shade, lean over to my daughter and ask if she can see the mountain, “I can Daddy!” It’s the first flight she might remember and it’s just fantastic to see her enthusiasm for “flying taller than Daddy.”

Today marks the one year anniversary of I’m not here! A year ago I was returning from a trip to Israel, a year later I’m returning from a trip to California.
