I love this picture of Mount Rainier I shot at City Beach, in Oak Harbor, the other day!! It's 166 miles away from us so this is a rare and beautiful sight to behold!! It was such a clear day... it's incredible to me how peaceful an active volcano can look, when it's dormant... it's me second favorite active volcano... Mount Baker is my favorite!! I love the Cascade Mountains!! It's thrilling to me to live so close to the Pacific Ring of Fire 🌋 🔥 The Cascade Mountains look a lot like the Swiss Alps... they're called the American Alps... I've been to both places, and they are, both, phenomenal places to see and experience!! I, particularly, love the glaciers!!!🩵🩵🩵 glacial blue is the most incredible shade of blue I've ever seen!!! 🩵🩵🩵

Petey and I love to visit the beaches here, in Whidbey Island 🏝 😍

Isn't it lovely, here? ❤️❤️❤️✨️🌞🌈🕊🦅🙏🏼🐕💯
