Sunrise Hiking Mt Rainer

blizzard on june 24th paradise Mt Rainer

out last day in the Mt Rainer area. we drove from green water through the national forest to paradise and down through ashford.
we encountered several weather conditions varying from rain to fog, and then to snow.
too much snow for talula who wanted to build snow men and dogs - potentially with anatomical correctness (as correct as one can be with frozen hands in snow.)
unfortunately it was not fun snow and talula did not appreciate the fact it snowed at us whilst there -
it apparently hadn't snowed in ages except for this day.

 this is not notchtail - the daily visitor in our garden who has a notch in his tail.
this is someone else, several someone else's came to our garden during our spite of snowed in ness.
this little guy took at least five peanut butter seed balls back to his cove across the alley.
