Seattle Moonset

A moonset over Seattle as seen across Lake Washington at the Kirkland Marina. Downtown Seattle is over on the far left and the two streaks across the sky are planes headed towards SeaTac airport, not UFOs :-)

Tolmie Peak

Small Island in Mowich Lake.
Ili and I went hiking to Mount Rainier today. We hiked from Mowich Lake up to Tolmie Peak. For the most part, it was a very nice and pleasant hike. However, when we reached Eunice Lake we were attacked by mosquitoes and flies. As if that wasn't enough, when we reached to top of Tolmie Peak, you literally couldn't stand still even for a second before being swarmed by mosquitoes.

Although Mount Rainier was partly hidden by clouds, the view was still incredible. But, because of the clouds of mosquitoes we didn't stay for more than 5 minutes. By the time we got back to the car, I had at least 25 bites on my legs and another 15 or so on my arms. Note to self, next time, take mosquito repellent!
