4am wake up calls are worth it. Always. No exceptions. Get up, and get moving. Beautiful things happen before the world is awake.

Had nothing to do on this rather gloomy weekend and decided to drive out to Snoqualmie Pass with some friends to hike up to Snow Lake. Got there around 11am and rain was forecasted for later in the evening so we were there at the perfect time to capture the clouds.

Issaquah, WA offers many, many miles of trails on Tiger Mountain. I’m lucky enough where these trails are within a quick walk to from my front door. Issaquah, WA

I love rusty old train bridges and spotted this one above this silty-green river. Had to get a bit wet to get the angle I wanted (and the river was moving quick!)

Entering Mt. Baker for the first time - it was like entering a theme park with incredibly gorgeous scenery at every turn - starting with arriving at Picutre Lake at the foot of the mountains. Working my way to the top - I was greeted with 20- foot walls of snow still in place during the last week of July! Taking in the huge walls of snow, 70 degree sunny weather and girls in bikinis skiing down the face of the mountain - I realized I’d witnessed one of the most beautiful places in all of Washington State. Only in the Pacific Northwest.

Traveled to Mount Baker to explore and came across Picture Lake - the name being fairly obvious as the setting looks like a postcard in every direction that you look. The shot was taken in mid-afternoon - on possibly the prettiest day of 2018 in the Seattle area. Picture Lake is approximately 25 minutes from the very top of Mount Baker where girls are skiing in bikinis with 20-foot snow banks still accessible in late July summer.

The reflection of the trees on the lake and soft white tones reminds me of a romantic winter wonderland.

My boy is one to contemplate, and I wonder what it was in his head here when we were swinging in our favorite spot at Soda Springs. Peaceful, quiet, bubbling and much to imagine. Maybe he was thinking on what a life they live as fish in that pool.

Over two years of memories were written on a large plank of wood used to cover as a table in my friends apartment. We thought it was a good time to burn it as we all have started off on separate paths now that most of us have graduated from our universities.

Near the famed Public Market, otherwise known as Pike Place, is the Seattle eye giving a bird’s eye view of the harbor and surrounding area. Maybe you’ll be lucky and the skies will be blue. Not always a given in Seattle.

What an amazing city. Even though this picture isn’t of the city, it’s always going to remind me of the amazing people and ideas I found there in May 2018. I shot this just before stepping off the Bainbridge ferry at the end of a long day walking around Ballard and Bainbridge Island. Thanks to Dribbble and friends for giving me an excuse to spend a weekend exploring a small piece of the Pacific Northwest. Thanks to Sofia. I want to give a shoutout to my friend Joe (http://www.josephhaubert.com), the stuff he taught me in a class has really upped my photography skills.
