Mt. Rainier, mostly above the cloud cover, with cottage-cheesy clouds around the base and a single saucer-shaped lenticular cloud over it.
Mt. Rainier today. I love the flight between Santa Rosa and Seattle; it's a smallish plane so you're at pretty low level passing all the "ring of fire" mountains. The Santa Rosa airport is like taking off/landing in your own neighborhood.
I flew over yesterday too, musta been a different flightβ¦
Pretty nice room at McMenaminβs Anderson School, Bothell WAβa converted school room!
