Sunset Glory

In Skagit County, Washington, Fir Island Wildlife Reserve is known for migrating birds. On a late afternoon drive to check out this location, I didn't find birds to photograph, but instead I found a sunset that took my breath away.

Heather Meadows

The brilliant red berries on mountain ash around Picture Lake add more richness to the already majestic landscape at Heather Meadows. This gorgeous place is in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, near the end of the Mt. Baker Scenic Byway. Mt. Shuksan and other nearby peaks in the North Cascades are in the background.
