Snow Lake, WA

One of my favorite quick and fairly easy hikes. 40 minute drive, 1.5 hours hike and then, this!

One the main reasons I moved to the NW is for easy access to these types of places.

Not bad for my phone's camera. Just adjusted the usual contrast, brightness, vibrance, etc.

Beautiful view, I can see why this is one of your favorite hikes!

Very nice!! If you said you'd taken that with a $1000 DSLR, I'd have believed you!

Thanks for the replies everyone. Moved from my home in Texas of 40 years to Seattle about 3 years ago. Can never imagine going back at this point mainly due to places like this. When I want, I can take day trips to some of the most beautiful places on earth from Seattle. Not so much from Houston.

Have a short weekend trip to Vancouver Island in a couple weeks. Hope to really start to refocus on photography on the trip. Despite living in such a beautiful area, I seemed to have a lost a little desire and passion for photography lately. Really no excuse for it.
