Here is a link to a recent article and images from Photo Tours to Washington Pass this year.
Washington Pass and Blue Lake
Sunday was a perfect day for falls colors. Mixed sun and clouds, a bit of snow and amazing colors.
These images are from Washington Pass (in the meadow near the lookout turn out) and along the trail to Blue Lake, at the small pond just beyond the lake.

Trip to Leavenworth
Leavenworth is the second most visited tourist destination in Washington, only Seattle pulls more visitors.
Nestled in the eastern foothills of the North Cascades, Leavenworth has created itself as a Bavarian Village.
For myself the draw of Leavenworth last weekend was fall colors.
The east side of the Cascades has generally bluer skies and wonderful trees and autumn explosion of bright color.
Here are images from the trip!
Fall Colors are almost here!
Two years ago I scored a 5 -day permit for the Enchantments, in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, near Leavenworth, Washington.
The hike up Aasgard Pass to the Enchantments Basin was brutal, but infinitely worth the sweat and pain!
The Sub-alpine Larch turn colors in early October, to a bright electric orange.
The result is unbelievable!

Sahale Camp Mountain Goat
Just back from a trip to the North Cascades National Park, 2 nights, 3 days, visited my favorite camp, Sahale Glacier Camp.
This morning I awoke at 5am, got some sunrise shots and then the camp got a visitor.
This goat was pawing the ground and I was nearby, snapping away, then he got a bit interested in me and the camera!
I was shooting with a 24-105mm lens, set to 30mm (on a full frame camera) so my furry friend was a bit closer than he looks on the pictures!

I began using Flickr to showcase my images in 2007. It has been a successful site for me, I have sold many images to web site and publishers that they discovered from the Flickr Page.
Last week I surpasses 2,000,000 views!
The first million views took 7 years, the second million, only 2!
Flickr is easy to use, uploading is fast, and I can create albums and galleries to gather groupings of images for submissions.
Flickr also has a cool feature called Explore, where the best 100 images are culled each day.
I have been lucky, more than 30 of my images have made it into Explore. here is the one that pushed me over the 2,000,000 mark.
