This day began with heavy fog and little promise of a bright new day. Patience was rewarded with a nice replication of Mt. Rainier in Reflection Lake as the fog lifted and a beautiful new day arrived. This is why photography can be addictive for so many of us.

Enjoy a wonderful Easter!

A view from above of this small lake with majestic Mt. Rainier in the distance.

Rarely a long lonely wait for the sun to start the show as this iconic lake draws many photographers and nature lovers. I've met some wonderful people here who have become good friends.

The lake is fed by springs and snow melt, and is ice-free only during the summer. This Native American name means grassy lake.
