"Objects in zoom may appear closer than they really are." (to paraphrase what my car mirror says ;^) ) But, this is my territorial view of glorious Mt. Rainier. Of course it is spectacularly beautiful here this week and the mountain has been "out" everyday. That is not always the case! Many days I just see those two chimneys. . .sigh. I took this shot in the late afternoon (and a seaplane just happened into the frame!. . .I love when that happens).

A big wow Kim, spectacular snowy crest.
Seaplanes are somehow really romantic, and with that spectacular mountain backdrop - WOW!
Kim! Amazing shot! It must be a really comfortable feeling to wake up and notice the mountain is "out" to say hello ;)
I like your photo, great done!
Truly spectatular, you lucky girl!
Wow,lucky you got the shot with a seaplane in it.All I get to see from my bedroom is a boring hill.BTW,this is my first time here.Love your photos!
Dijah,

What a fantastic view!
O wow that is lovely and the inclusion of the plane perfects the shot.
Oh...I love this! Soooo beautiful!
wow wow!
you definitely have a fabulous view!
Mt Rainier is spectacular!
I have nothing like that around here. Nice view!
Fabulous!
Mt Rainier? Spectacular view!
Spectacular!!! and to think I've never seen a mountain in my life except for once the alps looking through the airplane window. Enjoy your beautiful view!
We can smell the fresh air from all the way down in Los Angeles!
Vraiment une superbe vue, et avec en plus cet avion, bravo
Really a superb sight, and with in more this plane, cheer
What a beautiful view! :)
Greetings from
Oslo, Norway
wow! wonderful view! and what a treat to be able to get a shot of the plane on a clear day! lucky shot! I understand the feeling of knowing that the mountains are there, but not being able to see them--usually it's too hazy to get a clear view of the alps from Zurich. Normally you can just barely make out their outline. Oh, but when it is clear, it's such a treat to see them! (unfortunately not possible from my bedroom window though...)
You'll never, ever, have trouble selling your house with that view!
What a great view! I'm jealous! Greetings from Toruń Daily Photo...where today you get a little close to my room!
Fantastic Kim, and the seaplane is the cherry on the cake!
I would never clean the house looking at that view!
I've just to say : Oh my god !!
Happy Day Theme :D
This is a winner! Perfect subject, timing and weather.
Stunning! What an amazing view - very majestic!
Nice shot. Like the view.
What a large view!
Gorgeous view! Lucky to have caught the seaplane, too!
How fortunate that Rainier was "out" this week! My parents traveled in the Pacific Northwest for two weeks last month, and my photographer dad complained that he only had one chance to shoot Mt Rainier when it wasn't hidden away. The seaplane is a nice touch!
WOW. that is amazing. Best view from windown shot I have seen so far. You are VERY LUCKY! wow. just speachless. amazing shot.
Oh wow!! That is an amazing view. I love that you caught the sea plane in the photo too.
It looks like paradise.
Now this is what I called a view, do we have live in suburbs to have view like yours?
Many thanks for visiting and leaving a comment for theme day! I know it is hard to get around to our many CDPB family sites, so really appreciate hearing from you all.
I cracked up about the housework, Ramblingaround. So THAT's my problem ;^)
Ainz, I'm wondering if the haze that keeps the Alps from your view is pollution or mountain cloud/mist patterns or both.
Two&2 LA, Ah, it only looks fresh because you can see through it! ;^) It's actually killing the ancient Madrona trees here in Seattle. When I was a kid in OC we could hardly ever see the mountains until the Santa Anas came through in the fall. I hear it is better these days.

Wow. Stunning view!!

I'm very late getting around to all of the theme day photos. This is one of my favs. Apart from europe, traveling around the northwest was our best vacation ever. Great shot!
