This is Mount Baker, one of our huge volcanic mountains in the Cascade Range. It is like Mount Rainier in that it stands out much higher than the mountains around it. It is usually not this clear. This is about 60 or 70 miles away.
I love all this driftwood. I have lugged several pieces home!
This piece was beautiful but a bit too heavy!!!!
A close up of the above driftwood.
The Cascades above Puget Sound.
I saw this hole in a large piece of driftwood and thought it was the perfect frame for a picture.
Progress on "This is the Day."
I will finish the leaves tonight. I changed the windows to a light color. The dark brown was suggested. I decided that this is a happy cheerful piece. The house looked foreboding to me with dark windows.
I moon was so pretty last night. The SBA and I just finished a class on digital photography so we were experimenting with settings.
Have a happy Friday and a great week end. Thanks for joining me!
Great pictures of Baker! I just traveled back to the East to visit family and I am so bummed to see all these great pictures of this amazing weather I'm missing! Hopefully you all will still have sunshine when I return :) Seeing Baker rise above Oak Harbor always makes me happy inside because it means we have a clear day!

Lovely pictures Barb. I love anything to do with the ocean and especially enjoyed the view through the piece of driftwood. The snow covered mountain is majestic.

What a pretty blog you have - I look forward to coming back to enjoy a little more. Your views look very much like ours, here on Vancouver Island. We see Mt Baker very clearly some days!
ReplyDeleteThe moon was beautiful. You have a great picture of it. It is called the Pink Moon for April. I really lives up to it's name in your picture. This is the Day is coming along great. I love this design.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are drawn to the same things in nature...like that driftwood! I love driftwood and the textures and shadows it creates. We can sometimes see Mount Baker from the top of our hill on good days. It's an amazing Mountain. One day we will take a lovely hike together! Lovely progress on your sampler. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I would have lugged some of that driftwood home too. This is the Day is looking great - it is on my long list to do someday. :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics from your walk. The mountains look amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching progress too!
Such beautiful photos and I love the fact that you and your husband took a photography class together! Something I should do myself :)
