Yesterday was a catch up day. Began the day, however, with a visit to St. Timothy's EC. It was a small church and it was all made of logs. Quite pretty and three lovely dove windows inside. There was a priest there but the homily was by a priest in California that one of the parishioners read. Seemed a little strange, but who knows. Nice service and nice folks. Then hit the Starbucks to do at least something on the blog....very general pictures so since this is catchup on the blog, there will be some duplicates. Were there quite a long time as it was slow and it had been a long time since I'd worked on the blog so had to deal with the learning curve all over again. We left before they threw is out though and headed to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Excellent and the portions were huge so have enough for tomorrow too! Sun came out in the afternoon.
This morning was our day to experience the Lake Chelan and Stehekin portion of North Cascades National Park. We were at the Lady of the Lake plenty early so got situated where we could get photo stuff out easily. The sun was out and it looked GREAT.

Earlier showers had produced this rainbow.
More trees on the hillsides now...and more clouds in the sky.
A couple of showers and this was the result :-)
More trees and sunshine.
There was a fair amount of fire damage through this section.
Great cloud action.
Almost to Stehekin.
Dock is just to the right out of the picture. Deep woods here.
We had an hour and a half layover before the boat returned so we went to visit Rainbow Falls. No rainbow here though....just clouds and a gentle rain.
Beautiful falls though. Also stopped by the old one room schoolhouse on the way back. They built a new school about 5 years ago. Have 1 teacher for 8 grades and 17 students. That would take real dedication! Stopped at the Visitor's Center before we boarded the boat. The ride back was uneventful with lots of sunshine after the first 30 minutes or so. Very nice day!
