Pahto (Mount Adams), seen from Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Last weekend I decided to meet up with a friend for a sunset hike at Mount Rainier National Park. We made detailed plans ahead of time for both the hike and sunset watching, and then ended up both arriving later than planned, doing a different hike, and hiking more slowly than anticipated due to snow (yes, more snow!) on the trail and a stop to search for my friend's dropped phone. But sunset wasn't until 8:51pm so we figured we still had plenty of time.
We were hiking with the sun behind us, and time was flying by as it has a way of doing when we hike together, so when we emerged from a forested section of the trail into a meadow, we suddenly noticed that the sun was starting to drop into the trees, and realized we had to turn around and hustle back down the trail to where we had planned to watch the sunset over Tahoma (Mount Rainier).
As we hiked at a quick pace back, through every break in the trees, my eyes were drawn to this view of Pahto and the south Cascades. In the evening light, with that fog rising from the forest below, I finally decided it was necessary to stop for photos, despite our time constraints.
Note: Pahto is the second highest peak in Washington, standing 12,281 feet/3743 meters tall and is considered one of the 5 active volcanoes in the state, although the last eruption was 1000 years ago. It is one of the five sacred mountains to the native Yakama peoples and part of the mountain is territory of the Yakama Nation.
This is at an oasis which was once a luxury resort but the locals now use the area as a day out to go dune buggy racing or to sail out on the oasis
This picture was taken a couple weeks ago, while my hubby and I were driving to Ontario from Alberta to visist family.
The Belmont Stakes -- nicknamed The Race of Champions -- ran Saturday, June 10. . .the last race in the Triple Crown. Mo Donegal won the 154th running at Belmont.
Will try to catch up with everyone this week -- finally got all the gardens planted.
This place was absolutely stunning. The whole area was painted with beautiful colours and textures. This spot had a viewpoint and you can see why the whole hillside was painted with red racing stripes!! Kris...
Stock car racing Midwestern style. Usually done on an unpaved oval track of a half mile or less, this popular weekend diversion really draws a crowd on Saturday night. High powered cars that are basically just a body shell covering a motor and chassis go round and round jockeying for position by bumping, pushing, and drafting each other. The extremely loud roar of the engines adds to the excitement. Definitely a survival of the fittest proposition.

I'm sure they weren't but the driver of the far vehicle was moving quicker than the nearby Buick, hence being a little blurred.
This is another very early morning shot.
I'm not sure what type these little dinghies are - but the flourescent sail stood out wonderfully against a rather threatening sky.

The new Silverstone Building, at the Silverstone Racing Circuit, in Northamptonshire.
Designed by Populous, the same architects who designed the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, the new building opened in 2011, bringing a modern touch to the former WW2 airfield.
