Mount Rainier in September

On a day like this one in September when the sky is clear blue and the weather warm, it is hard to not take a perfect photo of the majestic mountain that towers over the Purge Sound Region.  It has been decades since I have made the drive to Paradise, and I realized that it has been way too long!  The fields were painted with wildflowers, the gentle waterfalls glittered in the sun, and the glaciers were stark white against the blue skies.
