Sunrise near Mt St Helens from Coldwater Lake

I wish you could see the detail in this shot. This may end up being a print soon.

I have a (normally) amazing app that identified mountains with ease, but damn if it didn't require an update. So I'm not sure, but looking at a map that would make sense.

Very visible from Anacortes and the whole way to Orcas

Appreciate it! Final stop is Orcas Island for a bit of hiking and obviously photography. It's so dang stunning right now

Suppressing an overwhelming urge to knock on every one of these island-mansion doors and demand to know how they got their fortune - as though I could just go to law school real quick

Really into this scenery. I can see island hopping around here for sure.

My superb navigation onto the ferry has given me a confidence like I've never had. I don't think there's a vehicle out there I couldn't drive onto a ferry, if I'm being honest.

I don't like to brag but I did a pretty good job

I managed to avoid driving my car into the ocean while boarding the ferry.

The trick is to make a point of remembering. Even painful events like this tragedy.
Thanks to @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social for remembering, and being a vocal ally. 🏳️‍🌈

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
