Fall in the North Cascades

My wife and I took our annual fall trip to Mt Baker last weekend. We had a great day of hiking and managed to stop for the typical fall Mt Shuksan shots. We were about a week early but that was good as the sun was out. This weekend it is raining. There were lots of people out taking advantage of it. These are not my best Mt Shuksan images but you do what you can with what you are given.

This first shot is of Mt Baker. I hiked down to a small stream and set up low and got on my knees to get this shot.



Here are two shots of Mt Shuksan. These were shot on two different bodies of water. The first is picture lake.

This one was from another lake next to Picture lake.

Thanks. It had been pretty windy but as usual in the late afternoon the wind stopped allowing the reflection shots.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks so much for the kind comments. I am blessed to live around such beauty. It makes taking pictures pretty easy.

 

Thanks. Not sure about the reflection. Maybe it is the grass in front of the peak in the water. Looks ok to me and in print even better.

Thanks Louie. I have so many pictures of Mt Shuksan but it is always fun to see and shoot. I am going to pack in with my son next summer and get my sunrise shot from Lake Anne. One of my all time favorite spots.

Thanks so much Jim.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Thank you for looking.

Thanks so much.

Wow, thanks much.

Thanks, the colors will be better this week but none the less it is a really pretty place.

Thanks much. Washington is a great place when the sun shines, which is not all that often!!

Where was that. I grew up in Bellingham so I know the area well. A great place to hike thats for sure.

Thanks so much for looking.
