The Fruit of Washington's Volcanoes stems from the dusted soil of
the volcanic past. "Yakima Peaches" and
"Washington Apples" abound .
"Mt Adams and the Hay Barn" gives testimony
to abundant grasses in the area...the wild "Bird"
loves the Cascade Mountains. Eruptions of
"Mt. St. Helens" (next page) and
others, gave the area uniquely fertile soil and beautiful Washington
landscape photographs.
The snow on these
very high mountains nourishes the area, too.
"Mt. Rainier at Reflection Lake" has snow melting
at it's side; wildflowers drink as they "Experience
Mt Rainier" thunderous "Snoqualamie"
Falls and "Sunrise Creek" show the power of
glacial snowmelt.
There is ethereal fruit,
too. "Narada Falls"suggests contentment;
Narada, contentment in the Braham religion, is felt by a visitor from
India who spots a nearby deer. Young Longmire felt her contentment
when she exclaimed "Paradise"at the first sight
of Mt Rainier in the morning , 1889. The Lodge has been there ever
since. At the Sunrise section of the park, you can see
"Mt. Rainier at Twilight" or visit
"Mt Rainier at Sunrise". "Mt Adam's Reflections" are lovely too...just
a few miles down the road...a drive dappled with vine
"Maples" rustling in the fresh mountain
breeze.
