Hiking the Pacific Northwest


"Real life," said Hans Christian Anderson, "is the best fairy tale."

He was right, wasn't he?


Yesterday I hiked Artist Point at Mount Baker, right near home. We are on that lovely cusp between summer and autumn, when nature is at its vibrant best.




Blueberries were everywhere and I ate them by the handful as we climbed the very steep shale to the top of Table Mountain, then descended toward the Chain Lakes.








Wishing you fresh air and brisk breezes as autumn arrives.
