Wordless Wednesday

Welcome to Tales from the Upper Left! I’m an Oregonian by birth, and a Washingtonian (upper left...get it?) by choice. I share my life with a husband named Jonathan and a cat named Colby Jack (he’s orange...like cheese). I dabble in photography (passionate hobbyist), hike when the opportunity arises, drink wine whenever the mood strikes me and travel not often enough. Predictable Washington blog? Nah. I promise!

Spectacular. That sad ruin of a mountain. I don’t always feel that way about it. I don’t feel that way when I see it from my house, though I miss it’s top. Bit from close up, I do miss it’s old beauty. Amazing shot.

Thanks, Gretchen. I’ve only known her topless as I was just a kid in OR when she erupted. But, I would imagine those who knew her, loved her and played on and around her still experience occasional pangs of mourning…remembering how she once was. She’s still glorious in her own right…but obviously oh-so-changed.

Wow! How lucky to have captured a “fire rainbow” above Mount St Helens that day! Beautiful image!

Fire rainbow! That’s what it’s called? Thanks for the identification, Peggy. There was also a partial rainbow halo around the sun, which was just over the back of my head when I took this.
