$10.95 Sirloin Steak Special and Wildfire Haze (3 images)

First stop coffee and breakfast rolls at Cinnamon Twisp Bakery, then Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival Barn where we heard world class musicians open rehearsal. We drove to Twisp and Winthrop then on to the North Cascades Goat Mountain.  We hiked a steep trail to see mountains in haze from wildfires in British Columbia.  No guardrails on the narrow gravel road that wound up the mountain.  Made it back to Malott in time for the Friday night Sirloin Steak Specials(that’s Caesar Salad & Garlic Bread & Baked Potato) August 7th plan- Farmer’s Market, call La for her bday!

“It’s a Boy Thing”, My Brother Said

Looked dangerous to me. They were far away.  Shot with a 24-70 mm L series lens. Cropped to see the guys jump off the rocks into the alkaline lake.  There are three views of the same frame, figures jumping get smaller and smaller.  A mini-slideshow.

On the Colville Tribal Reservation, “Omak Lake, the largest saline lake in Washington, is located southeast of Omak. It lies mostly within a steep-walled valley and is the principal body of water in the Omak Lake watershed. Omak Lake has no outlet and is fed by drainage from the surrounding hills and plateaus and from several inlet streams.”
