It has been an unusually wet winter and spring here in the Pacific Northwest. We moved up here (per my earlier blogs) in March. It was the middle of March when we received our furniture via the moving van and we have been settling in ever since (that’s short for painting every room, updating all three bathrooms, furniture shopping, donating furniture we shipped but aren’t using, new appliances….that kind of stuff).
Having said all that, I have been itching to get back to hiking, but with the wet weather I’ve acquiesced to waiting and the above items have kept me busy. With summer coming and the rains easing up, I’m ready to get back out there!! I’ve attached four captures from hikes I have done up here in the past to get me back to it!!
The lush green awaits…….

These are beautiful, Kirt. The Pacific Northwest forests are so lush. Happy hiking.
Thank you very much!! I am so looking forward to it!! Hope all is well with you!!
You are in hiker’s paradise, Kirt. I remember hiking out there and I looking forward to having some memories rekindled. Your photos are great.
Thanks Dan….I’m looking forward to getting back out. We have a number of hiking trails near where we live. We are inland less than a mile on the sound up on some densely wooded bluffs. Also looking forward to our newest grandson joining the world any day now!!
That all sounds great, Kirt.
You did move to the wet coast as we called it when we lived in Vancouver. Glad to hear you are getting settled in. I’m sure you will be out hiking very soon. When it is nice there, it is so very nice!
We’ve actually enjoyed the rain coming from a very dry Southern California!! Our new grandson is due almost any day, so looking forward to him coming into the world!! Take care Darlene and thanks for dropping by!
I love the PNW, Kirt. It’s been a little extra wet this year, but that will help keep the fires down when summer hits. Great photos of the lush greenness of our forests. The summers are wonderful as you know, and you’ll have a wonderful time hiking.
I’m so looking forward to it. We have a number of trails in the area we live in, so I’m going to tackle those first!!
Awesome. 🙂 Washington has great hiking.
Congratulations on your move! Always takes time
to settle in. So much beauty and lushness awaits. Hike onward!
Thanks Sue!! Hope all is well with you and your family!! Thanks for stopping by!
It sounds like you’re really nesting Kirt. The hiking will be extra special after waiting; and the lush landscape a big contrast from S. Cal.
It is so lush and green …that’s what I have always loved about this area!! We are also just days away from welcoming our newest grandson into the world!!! Hope all is well with you!!
Another grandchild to enjoy and spoil!
Beautiful! I love those lush green places! 🙂
You and me both!! Loving it!!
I’m so glad you are getting settled in.
That area sure is lush… and there are some beautiful trails! Enjoy!
Thanks Nancy!! I can’t wait to get back out on the trails!! Hope all is well!!

Welcome dear Kirt. You too have a great week ahead.
I love your captivations of beauty and foliage.
And, hiking is a great outdoors adventure but I love to see my pathways. Thanks for the pre-summer inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback. Much appreciated!! Have a great weekend!!
brilliant photos Kirt. I bet it’s wonderful walking through those woods, especially if there aren’t many people around
It’s so peaceful and serene! The trails are well kept. It truly gets you back to nature! Thanks for stopping by!!
Also wanted to let you know, I can’t go “into” you posts. I can see them and “like”, but can’t open them up. I get an unsecure message and my system won’t go any further.
Beautiful images and forest. I like all the vertical in the first and second and how you framed them in the first.
Thank you very much Denise!!! I can’t say it enough….I truly appreciate your input and feedback! Love and respect your work!! Thank you!!
