This week I'm visiting my friend Galen in Seattle, and as part of our weekend plans we headed out to her parents house in Plain on the Wenatchee River. A lovely quiet way to spend some time. Here is my pick for my Sunday photo, a stone bench in the trees by the river.
A couple of additional photos of the house and yard.
And, as usual with Galen, we do some outdoor activity that is more than intended or planned. We headed out for a short hike (maybe 3/4 mile "mostly flat") to Hidden Lake in the Wenatchee Forest. She was fairly accurate in that description, but it was a bit more uphill than "mostly flat". But that didn't end up being enough, so we decided to wander around the lake, and as we kept going we decided we might as well go all the way around, because going forward was a better option than going back. The route around was not a well maintained trail and had several downed trees we had to climb over or under, as well as cross a couple streams. It was a nice scramble, rather than walk, but I'm glad we did it.
Here are a few photos from that activity.
Lastly, this image is from Saturday, but I wanted to share the full of water and beautiful Snoqualamie Falls.
