Taken from the Bainbridge ferry. The mountain is notoriously covered in clouds. So I was happy you could at least see the shape of it.

Mt Baker
This was taken from Port Townsend
Mount Baker (Nooksack: Kweq’ Smánit; Lushootseed: təqʷubəʔ), also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a 10,781 ft (3,286 m) active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States.
The FOG…
I am often mesmerized by the fog. I love the way it dances in between trees and buildings. I could watch it for hours.
Welcome Back To The Olympic Peninsula! And SNOW
It has snowed twice already in 2024 here. (I managed to miss the BIG week of snow in January) I woke up to this–the forecasters said sun all day. THE PNW forecasting job would be a great one. You can be right less than 50% of the time and still keep your job! It is very difficult to forecast here because we are the first place all weather disturbances hit first. Then they more predictably flow across the US. The snow is pretty, but I prefer to go visit IT on my own terms. Living here mean usually I can drive just 10-30 minutes and be in snow all winter.
Come to the light
Ardythe took this at second beach near Kalaloch on the Washington coast.
I hope you enjoyed your week with the art of Ardythe Wendt. Isn’t she inspiring?
The rugged Washington Coast
Rialto beach never disappoints no matter what the weather. Our coastline is NOT great for swimming: Cold/rocky/terrible rip tides/ and lots of floating killer logs. But it is amazing to watch and to photograph.
A natural frame for protection island
From up on Bell Hill you could see protection island and even Mt Baker faintly in the distance. Sequim doesn’t usually get much snow in town. But if you go up just 100 ft into the foothills (like the Bell Hill neighborhood) you’ll find snow.
