Didn't feel too bad since I saw Mt. Adams earlier:





but even that was covered in cloud. I had better luck with Mt. Hood.
Nice shots! I've got to get on my bike and try some longer rides!

It's all brown here.

I imagine the local might have trouble understanding why anyone would want to get away from sunshine.
Overall it's noticeably more brown than it was during summer, but there's still a lot of green (especially in that spot). I didn't realize just how green it was here until I visited TN over Christmas and everything was surprisingly brown.

Oh, and here's another one. Same spot, different camera and angle:

Now that I have my camera and lenses out here, I can't wait for some really good weather to go exploring for pictures. Figures that every day that was sunny this past week I was inside at work. These were from Tuesday, which was 50/50 with the clouds, and still with my little point and shoot.





These were taken around 5pm. It took way longer than I thought to get to the lighthouse at Discovery Park. Wasn't expecting it to be an actual hike to get there. I was hoping the clouds would go away to get some type of sunset, but no luck.

They were of Mt. Adams, not Mt. Baker. I took them from Glenwood, Washington.

Sorry, I knew that and even meant to say that- just had the wrong name in my mind. I've been down in that area once and really wanted to find the kinds of views of the mountain you had- thanks for the info, I will head down there to Glenwood sometime this summer.
