Beauty

I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful valley.  I have to say I didn't really appreciate living in Eastern Washington until I moved to Seattle to attend college.  Now there is not a day that goes by that I don't notice how beautiful the Wenatchee Valley is.  There are times that I want to pull my car over while driving just to take a picture of the beauty I see out my windshield (and if I didn't always have the kids with me, I probably would).

Sunday morning, I set my alarm for 4:45am and drug myself out of bed for a sunrise hike up Saddlerock.  I'm pretty sure BJ thought I was crazy (and maybe I was just a little) but the early wake up was well worth the beauty we saw.  I met up with Mary (MKC Photography Mary) and we took our cameras up the mountain (of course, her pics were far and above better than mine). :)  But, I'm so thankful I did as I now have actual pictures of our beautiful valley and not just iPhone pics.  And... I think it made a little more sense to BJ why I wanted to wake up at the crack of dawn once he saw the pics. 

 

 

An added bonus... we saw this rainbow on our way down.  Although we did get rained on a little - good thing we had worn extra clothing to hide our cameras.
