Magical Moonrise Over Mt. Rainier
It was the end of 2020, our first full year of Covid. Travels were still limited to outdoor spaces, so we bundled up and headed to the mountain in our backyard. It was clear and sunny, snowy and beautiful, that day. We stopped by… Continue Reading “Magical Moonrise Over Mt. Rainier”

Volcanoes through the #Window – From Seattle to Hawaii
