Mt. Rainier Miscellany

A few more shots from Mt. Rainier National Park – Day one. The next day I was there earlier this year was cloudy – so no shots of the mountain. Good day for waterfalls though. A group of German tourists asked me how much further they needed to drive to see Mt. Rainier. We were standing in the parking lot in Paradise. Paradise is literally right next to the mountain, so I had to explain that it was likely they were not going to see the mountain that day. Disappointing would be an understatement. Im hoping my vacation window opening later this month allows for actual mountain viewing.

Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier

Shot a bit of Mt. Rainier with my 100mm macro lens. Can’t help but think that when I get comfortable with the idea of spending the money on a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L I will have much better options on shots like this. Or at least thats one of the excuses I’m currently making while thinking about it.

These shots of the Nisqually Glacier area of Mt. Rainier are from a road just southwest of Paradise.

Mt. Rainier & Nisqually Glacier

I love how I always see many photos of interesting clouds swirling around the summit of Rainier.

A roadside wildflower. There were some wildflowers flowering in July, but not a lot. When I go back later in the summer there should be more – and (almost) no snow!
