By noon we're getting
weary of waiting, and hungry! So we say good-bye to Artist Point for now.
An artist tells me he's
painting from memory.
It's
clear and sunny at our lunch spot. It's also very windy and cold so we
retire to the car to eat. |
We
also watch Table Mountain being swallowed by the Cloud Monster. |
We
spend some time at Picture Lake on the way out. The colors are pretty
here too.
We still can't see the top of Mount Shuksan.
|
Tim finds a small crop
of Amanita Muscaria mushrooms under a tree near the lake.
I
see a bedraggled Dragonfly huddled under a rocky outcrop. |
Mount
Shuksan is certainly under cover for a good part of the day. |
Everyone
stops to watch four young Blue Grouse cross the road around Picture Lake. |
They
chatter away at each other as they head into the bush. |
And now, three
signs that made us laugh.
What
an odd combination.
Nettle Gouda is a Dutch cheese made with stinging nettles. |
Anyone remember
Clark Kent's girlfriend?
And so ended
our annual trip to the end of the Mount Baker Highway.
