Love your pic of Mt. Ranier -- I remember the talk of the Indian legends that about 1799 it came to life and as I remember the sequence...

1. Big earthquake (Cascadia quake ~8 on the richter scale.)
2. All water leaves Puget Sound. Muck on the bottom visible.
3. All water returns to Puget Sound. Debris on the 200' vertical line as reported by the early settlers.
4. Tsunami wave reported on that day in Chinese coastal village records, all the way across the Pacific.
5. Lava begins flowing into the magma chamber under Ranier, opened up by the quake.
6. Explosive eruption as was Mt. St. Helens, the shock wave creates numerous nearby rolling hills.
7. The glacier top and snow fields are very rapidly liquidated.
8. The slurry moves in a huge wall down to lake Washington and out to Puget sound, through Seattle.
9. Ash begins to fall in depths measured as several feet.

Historical analysis of previous events that resulted in widespread tree falls and tree ring dating of trees buried in muck reveal this to be a regular phenomenon with a period of about 200 years.

----- Yes, that is a beautiful photograph.

Yes.
A mountain with a bit of an attitude problem.
But it is a pretty pic, I agree.

Hi you all. It's a beautiful day here...sunny and warm finally. Wish I had more flowers in bloom, but the Peonies are getting close, and a couple Lupine are in near bloom.

Al's back at Dyan's finishing up her chain-link fence, and hoping he gets it finished today. Me, I just took an hours nap and don't know what to do at the moment, 'cept get into some trouble.. ;)

Mo.. I use PhotoImpact 7 mostly.. I'm too dumb yet for PSP.. ;)
