Witches, Rattlesnakes, Bears, Waterfalls, BK9, BK24, Camo Chickens and a BK15

[Eero]

Went to Snoqualmie Falls area for a day trip to visit Rattlesnake Lake and had some other sightings/adventures along the way.

FlashForward BK&T content, the BK15:

The morning started with a bear sighting in my living room. I was half asleep getting ready to walk out the door and saw this huge thing on our couch. Still can't get a straight story from my roommates as to where it came from and why it was there. It disappeard sometime yesterday when I was gone. I think it walked out the door when no one was looking. Creepy:

Also spotted this device on our table before I left. The bear must have been bottling:

All packed up and ready to go (waiting at the bus stop):

Spotted this really cool witch hazel tree on the side of a building by the falls:

The Falls:

Massive tree on an old rail car:

Camo chickens (they really belended into the rocky landscape well to hide from birds or prey flying above):

Mount Si in the background (I plan on climbing this in the near future):

This cat must have been turned to stone by some witchhazel. Poor kitty:

Hiking around Rattlesnake Lake:

My BK9 and BK24 came along for the ride. They didn't see any action but I had them if I needed them

My BK15 was also tagging along. It was really a good match to the root system of this stump:

Thanks for looking.

Nice pictures. From the title I assumed you'd stumbled onto the remnants of some Wiccan ceremony or something.

I've officially left my ol lady, the kid's in good hands and I'm on my way to move in with y'all. Ok, so not really, but damn that makes me want to.

Your welcome to crash on the couch and pay rent in beer

Unfortunately my ex-girlfriend thought she was entitled to my digital camera when we broke up so all I'm working with at the moment is my iPhone 4. It takes OK pictures but really doesn't do mother nature the justice she deserves. Hope to mount a covert mission soon to get camera, and all my memory cards back... have a lot photos on there that I never transferred to my computer from my last trip

What is really cool is this place is only about an hour drive from my new house in Seattle. I'm coming back in the near future for sure...

I'd say your iPhone does pretty damn good.

Great pictures! Especially since all I can see out my windows is snow.

Id love to have a chunk of wood off that old tree to make some scales for tweeners! Thats just plain gorgeous old wood.

wow, those pictures are stunning. Eero, you live in an incredible slice of the country. Thank you for sharing those photos. The trunks on those trees are so unique and interesting and the lake is gorgeous and the background landscape is just incredible.
