With all the rough weather going on, from tornadoes in Texas to blizzards in Bismark, we have finally caught a short-lived break from the hum-drum rain and clouds here in the Pacific NW. Today has been an absolute georgous day, making for a photographer's dream! My son and I took a short hike up to Rainier this afternoon and managed to capture a few photos I wanted to share here...
The winds were calm most of the day, but as sunset approached, the upper-level winds began kicking in, making for a jaw-dropping lenticular cloud display over the summit of Mt. Rainier. We came across several groups of campers and volunteer groups who are helping repair a lot of the damage to Mt. Rainier National Park following the devastating floods back in late November. The north portion of the park remains closed to vehicular traffic, but you can hike (thankfully).
Happy New Year everyone, and I hope you enjoy the photos! More pictures to be posted at www.billygriffin.com.
