Looking back over my non-bird photos this year and the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest stands out in my memory. It is at the top of Washington, close to the Canadian border.
Such a beautiful place and we had such perfect weather.
This is Mount Shuksan as seen from Picture Lake.

I find it curious that if I search for Trump, 2 results of photos of closets are returned; if I search for Clinton, it returns 7 pages of results. Looking at the published documents shows hundred page documents 100% redacted. Curious and not surprising.
