lucky here
I feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
I am doing pulmonary rehabilitation, after my fourth pneumonia in March 2021, not covid.
Hopefully I can climb Mount Townsend again next year.

sky door
I am submitting this to Thursday doors today. It’s not a door really, except sometimes the views traveling or hiking or outdoors are doors into another consciousness… I think that hiking helps me through the door into feeling peaceful and that my problems or worries or hurt feelings are not really significant after all. They are small in this beautiful world. They shrink and seem insignificant.
I took this near the summit of Mount Townsend, looking back. There is Mount Ranier and then we had a discussion about the other peak to the right. Mount Adams, I think, because Mount St. Helen’s is not as tall….
Who?
We parked in the lower parking lot for Mount Townsend, which means an extra 1.2 miles each way. But, we pass the small lake. On our way down in the afternoon we spotted this beauty. A great horned owl: sunning? Fishing? Enjoying warmth?
A beautiful surprise.
sea of clouds
As we climbed Mount Townsend, we climbed above the clouds and could see across the Sound to the Cascades rising above the sea of clouds.

The hike was glorious in part because the wildflowers were out in force. Red, yellow, white, blue, purple, every clearing on the mountain as we climbed. Gorgeous.
glorious
My mother called the Fourth of July “the glorious fourth”. I kept thinking of her yesterday. We hiked Mount Townsend yesterday and it was glorious. We drive up through clouds, a bit disappointed that there would not be views, but still determined. The hike starts at 3000 feet, so we drove out into the sun before that!
