we got up to the mountains today (pics)

decided to have an impromptu fishing and cookout day, so we headed up to a lake about an hour away. my husband hooked himself a rainbow trout, but let it go. he was so happy that he caught something, it was cute we also got to see a lady moose on the other side of the lake, i'm not sure that i've ever seen one before.

the weather was absolutely beautiful today, we had very tasty grilled chicken and roasted bell pepper sandwiches and finished in time to watch the sun set. my husband just got an iphone, so i took some photos. they would have been better, but we didn't have the hdr turned on, doh.

If you hadn't told us, I would never have known those pics were taken by an iphone. The colors are vivid and the details are sharp. Very nice!

I'm glad you had a good day...

It's really necessary to get out now and then and stretch...

Sounds like you had a great time! I live about the same distance from much the same wilderness if not closer but sadly hardly ever get out into it. Though thankfully Vancouver itself is blessed to be very green. It's always great to get out and clear you head, and more importantly get a better perspective on life (see the big picture if you will) isn't it?

i've made it as far up the pac coast as seattle and absolutely love it out there.

i love getting up there because it is a chance to clear my head and be one with the world.
