~ Mt. Rainier's Show ... An Awesome Rare Sight ~

THIS IS AWESOME, Enjoy - 14,500 ft.

Those of us NOT living in Tacoma , Washington or surrounding

areas will appreciate these pictures

Some of you who live in the Portland area may have seen this on Friday (?) it was so amazing,

people were pulling over on the freeway to take pictures.

Mt. Rainier puts on a show!

By Scott Sistek

Our little dry streak is about to come to an end.

But if you looked at Mt. Rainier today,

you would have known that already.

Take a look at some of these incredible clouds

captured over Mt. Rainier today.

Those are called "lenticular clouds" They're caused when the

winds are just right so when they flow over Mt. Rainier ,

the air gets pushed upward where it cools and

condenses into clouds.. Depending on the winds,

you can get some amazing clouds formations as we've

seen so far today. Here is more information on what causes

them from an earlier blog entry.

It's usually a sign of rain within 24 hours because typically

the moist flow that precedes a storm around here

is the perfect set up for these clouds.

Until you've been to the west coast & western side of this beautiful nation to view these majestic

mountains that just aren't here on the east coast,

you cannot imagine the beauty of them arising

into the horizon to greet you every single day.

This is Gig Harbor, a very lovely city on a hill with the beautiful waters below dressed in boats to enjoy. Very picturesque ...

Is this not AWESOME!

Such powerful pictures ...

In all her beauty ... God is the director!
