I was so hoping we could avoid fires.
We have been so dry with only one
morning of rain in a long long time.
Sadly Mt. Si that I look at everyday
caught fire on Friday afternoon and is
still burning.
They have been dropping water by helicopter
trying to contain it. It is traveling up the
mountain into the wilderness. Hard to get
to by foot. It is across the valley from me and we
are safe. But it is so sad to see the trees go up
in flames, not to mention the wildlife.
We were coming home Saturday eve and I snapped
these shots. They have closed the mountains
hiking trails.
hiking trails.
We had dinner in Snoqualmie across from the old
train depot.
On weekends you can ride the train through the valley
to North Bend and back.
They just finished up a weekend of
Thomas the Tank.
The children go wild for this event and I love to
watch all the comings and goings. It is a fun time
for all.
Well back to my sketching and painting and watching the fire.
