While I was visiting my daughter Julina in Washington State back in 2002, we went camping in Paradise on the southern flanks of Mt. Rainier. Here's a few shots from way back when taken with a cheap little camera. We saw two different marmots on our hike up the trail. I had never seen a marmot until that hike...ever:):) The water color is attributed to glacial runoff. Thanks for looking. I was 52 that year:):)....now I'm not ha-ha:)

---taken with a cheap little camera---

Bruce, because these photographs were taken almost 20 years ago, one shouldn't ignore the state of the art (photography) at that time. If one takes that into account, the quality of the photographs can be called very good.
It's a beautiful collage showing us two different 'stars' (😁) in a wonderful environment.
Thanks for both your daughter Julina and you for the done photographic effort, Buddy!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

Yes for being such an image, it's very nice. I do like the collage of shots, and I have never seen a marmot either, kudos! I can tell you had a beautiful day as well. tigs=^..^=

An evocative collection of pics...that appears to be telling a story....to me it seems that there is an identification or even a shared identity among the major protagonists!

A super collage of pictures of this impressive landscape ! I think I have never seen a marmot in reality. The young lad looks good too :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

52. It seems so long ago. ;oP

The place reminds me a lot of Glacier National park, Rainier being one of the most iconic and perfect American Mountains. That wall the marmot, I mean, you, are sitting on, widely crenellated (the wall, not you), is almost exactly like those edging Glaciers Sun Road. Makes sense, since the roads you traveled there were built between the latter 1900^s and 1918, and the Sun Road around between 1910 and 1933, both parks under the auspices of the National Park Service. The glacial runoff at Rainier appears to be much more milky gray than that in Glacier, probably because of the Andesite, a dark, fine-grained, brown or greyish intermediate volcanic rock predominant on Rainier. I like grouped images like this, that give folks like me, who have never visited the area, an idea of what to expect when I do.

Happy Trails.
