Mt Pilchuck

I was going to post about my recent beading class, handspun, trip to Whidbey Island, but that is to wait for another day. After seeing the kids pictures from their hike up Mt. Pilchuck (5,324 ft - 1,623 m)I had to share these lovely images


One touch of nature...makes all the world kin.
