Beauty of North Central Washington

 I think where I live is one of the most beautiful corners of the state. We just returned from the Methow Valley in north central Washington state. It has it's own beauty. Higher mountains, stark landscapes, river, and lovely trees. Above is a view in early morning on the highway. 

Here is a view toward the Okanagan Highlands.

The bare trees bunch together in the morning light.

Here is a view looking toward the Cascade Mountains. 

It is a beautiful part of the state and well worth a visit.
