Chairs, Chipmunks, My Shoes and Mt. Rainier

I promised to show my Mount Rainier pictures, which I took in August.
Well, I have two sets of them.
One set includes gorgeous-out-of-this-world-wonderful-weather pictures,
and another set includes mysterious-dramatic-foggy-cloudy-weather pictures.
Let's start with the first set.
Just several notes, and I'll let you enjoy the view.
First, Mt. Rainier is the highest mountain in Washington.
Second, I didn't feed the chipmunks! Someone else gave them nuts.
It's not a good idea to feed wildlife. Please, don't do that!
Third, the beautiful petunias belong to the Summit House restaurant,
the highest restaurant in Washington state.
Gondola ride to the top of Crystal mountain, where the pictures were taken,
costs $20 for adult with discounts for youth and seniors.
Trust me, it's worth it!
And, at last, Yes, those chairs are very comfortable  and
No, there is not any barrier in front of you when you sit on them.
Now, please enjoy the grand magic of wonderful Mount Rainier!

    1. Thank you, Karen! Sometimes, when night temperatures are low, they cover flowers with plastic.

  12. What an experience the Gondola ride must be, I would have to leave Myra behind as it takes a helluva lot to persuade her to even drive over a bridge. Never mind, your pictures gave me the feeling of being there.

  20. I'm um, a wee bit dizzy at the moment. Those photos were just stunning, Tatyana. I'm not terribly fond of heights so now that I've seen our photos I don't have to actually make the trip. :) That blue sky and the white mountain...just spectacular. We live in such a beautiful world.
