Day five.


(A doe, a deer, a female deer...


Yes. Evil does in fact come in small packages.)


This was our second day at Mt. Rainier, in the Paradise hiking area.


This is also the only picture of a deer I have ever taken :) I definitely appreciate the zoom on my new camera now!

Day four.


Keith was fishing in an all-natural glacier lake (Snow Lake) for all-natural trout.


Didn't catch any, but he enjoyed trying :)


This lake was one of my favorite places around Mt. Rainier. It's just so peaceful and so gorgeous there!

My class took a tour of the wetlands on our campus today. It's so beautiful and peaceful out there, I can't wait to go back by myself (after signing in) to take pictures and do my observations in private.



No birthday cake picture today, sorry ;)

Keith and I went on a 2 mile round-trip hike to Lake Evan and Boardman's Lake today. The hike was really easy, and we got to explore a bunch of hike-in campsites at the end by Boardman's Lake. And see snow in June, since we were way up in the mountains.


I got some pretty cool pictures, but I'm in love with this one. The forest we were in was a second or old growth (probably second) forest and it was fascinating to see all of the different signs of old growth forests. Snags (this picture) are one of those signs. And the trees were HUGE! The hike wasn't too impressive, but the trees were just amazing.
