This afternoon my photo buddy, P, called to say, "Let's go to Rattlesnake Lake while the sun at last is shining!" "Uh...it's raining", said I. "But I see nothing but blue, blue sky all around." P lives just 10 minutes away...around the flank of the mountain. But if there was a chance for a window of sunshine, who was I to stay home? Yes, we went, and yes it rained, it sunned, it clouded - within yards of each other as we walked the edge of the lake.
Looking up I saw clouds. Looking down, into the puddles, there was a hint of blue:
What looks like a shallow, rocky place in the lake is actually a reflection of Rattlesnake Peak:
Gander guarded the lake edge with puffed-up authority:
Once again we practiced waterfalls. I am still very upset with Blogger that my vertical shots get turned to horizontal right before I transfer them here. They were my best 2 waterfall shots, but got distorted in the turning, so I can't use them.
With this cascade I am looking downward:
We were teased with "almost sun" on our outing, but Lo!
Later this evening, back at home, Mt. Si looked like this, slashed by the sunset, from our front porch:

Oh, WOW! I love Mt. Si - it almost looks like you painted the mountain and the sky. That picture is worth submitting to a local calendar site.
I also particularly like the picture with the Rattlesnake Mountain reflection. And the guarding Gander gives me quite a big smile.
I love the cascade shot, as well. So sorry about your vertical picture problems with blogger. I wonder what the problem is; wish I was sitting next to you to take a peek.
It's great seeing your beautiful pictures again.
OH!!!! That Mt. Si shot is stunning! I still say you live on the prettiest side of the mountain AND you get the best light. Gorgeous.
Gus looks very regal, almost as if he were posing for a royal portrait. Looks rather haughty, doesn't he?
Sorry about the problem with the photos. So so frustrating!! Your reflections, though, are wonderful.
