    Awesome. Can feel my hair moving already. Thank you for the daily visual delight of coming to your blog. Even though I don’t grow anything, take awesome pictures or bake bread I am grateful for the daily reminder that it is possible. I am grateful for the knowledge you bring to my web browsing that if I decide to do any of the above then I need only come so far to learn all I need to know.

    Thanks again Jai and Bee.

    I’m speechless. Thanks for posting so much beauty. The pictures make me feel like I’m there. We visited Seattle last September but were unable to make the trip to see this part of Washington. I guess we missed out.

    We loved the Olympic National Park and we camped out for the weekend 1 1/2 yrs back. On the way to the park, we also camped out at Crescent Lake. The view on that is amazing. The lake is so still and the reflection of the mountains on its surface is mind blowing.

    Love these pix. The second pic, and the tops of the mountains, have a translucent, Pears-soap-like look – can’t take my eyes off those!

    I am tired of using ‘Awesome’, ‘Beautiful’, ‘Fantastic’ here on this blog. Can you buy me a new word to describe those pics above.

    Beautiful!! Lovely pictures!
    I have been to America once with hubby some years ago and could afford to stay there for about a month. A beautiful landscapes you have out there. I didn’t know until then that nature has such intense beauty. I wish to come again and do some sightseeing too. Let’s see. :)
    I’m a regular here actually, just do not always leave a comment.

    lovely pics.. and great quote:-)

  20. As soon as the first photograph loaded up, my heart skipped a beat. I knew immediately that it was the Olympic range from Hurricane ridge!!!!
    I lived here for for a few months, studying the Northern Spotted Owl. It is such a precious, spiritual place for me. I’m almost tearing up as I write this.
    I traveled through so much of the Olympic Nat. Park backcountry and what I saw everyday was so magical, it always moved me to tears.
    Thanks again for another wonderful reminder of the Olympics!
