Every once in awhile I need a physical and soul reboot. Crazy times in America, and elsewhere. Experiencing moments like Mt. Rainier rising from the early morning mists, reflected in Reflection Lake never fails to reset and rejuvenate me. It is both humbling and soul stirring. Nature is the best drug.....
A few more shots from this special morning in comments.
Thanks dear friends for the wonderful comments, faves and support. Makes my day.

A view of the highest peak in North America as seen from the Petersville road.
Denali is 20,310 feet (6,190 meters) above sea level, also making it the third highest of the Seven Summits — the highest mountains on each of the seven continents — following Mount Everest in Nepal and Aconcagua in Argentina.
Back from a marvelous long road trip thru British Columbia, Yukon to Alaska. 7025 miles, many of them some of the worst I've ever driven (mainly in the Yukon). Coping with the frost heaves and permafrost is a never ending challenge up there.
As a Peak "pic" Bagger this was a moving moment to see. Seeing it was a primary objective of my trip. Took 6 days for it to clear, but was well worth it.
It's windy, wet and cold up there. Who knew? ;-))
Approximately 2/3 of my trip was rainy with a few days of heavy snow. Passed up many a beautiful scene as conditions weren't right for a shot. Mother Nature rules and we enjoy what we get. Still loved it. Hope to return one day.
Glad to be home. Looking forward to getting back in the Flickr groove and catching up.

Just returned from a nice trip to Banff and Jasper. Had some challenging weather, as expected. Good to be back.
Driving NW here with the Mt. Wilson massif seen from the David Thompson Highway. North Saskatchewan river meandering on the left. Snow was on the way. Hard to top the Canadian Rockies if one loves impressive peaks.
Looking forward to enjoying your pics and catching up.
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!

One of the photographic places I wanted to visit when I first saw pictures of Spirit Island as a child. Standing here is truly a soul-stirring experience.
Spirit Island enjoys a worldwide reputation, and is one of the most famous and photographed views of the Canadian Rockies.
I caught the last boat of the year. Winter comes early here. The boat crew was quite entertaining. Now wouldn't that be a nice job, driving the cruise boat to this beloved place several times a day?
I'm pleased and honored by your visits, comments, faves and support. Thank you!

Never a bad day when one is at Banff's Moraine Lake. As close to heaven on Earth as I've found.
Many thanks for your visit, faves and comments. Always appreciated!
Have a great weekend!
