Always enjoy your pictures Val.....Thanks for sharing them.
FNC is still reporting that Mt. St. Helens is "imminent" to blow. We are currently about 250 miles as the crow flies from "the lady"...but got the ash last time she blew. We also own property about 35 miles from her....so we're watching closely.
Events like St. Helens certainly reminds us of our puny little human condition...LOL! And the incredible arrogance we have in our belief that we can 'control' nature.
