#528 — A scenic picture taken of Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument on a sunny day. In this picture you can see the volcano is active and letting out some steam. On this day there was a warning of 2 out of 3 and later this evening there was a 3.2 earthquake which the volcano let out even more steam. The last time Mount St. Helens really erupted was at 8:32 Sunday morning, May 18, 1980. Today, 25 years later, you can still see the destruction left from that blast, but you can also see a lot more green as things are starting to grow back. Back on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens was shaken by an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale. Nearly 230 square miles of forest was blown over or left dead and standing. The eruption lasted 9 hours, but Mount St. Helens and the surrounding landscape were dramatically changed within moments.

#164 — A beautiful picture of Mt. Rainier shot during the beginning of June. This photo was taken near Paradise in Mt. Rainier's National Forest. "The Mountain", as it's known by natives, draws your eyes like a magnet when it is visible and not invisible behind clouds. It also draws over two million visitors each year. Mount Rainier and the surrounding foothills were designated as a national park in 1899. On clear days, Mount Rainier dominates the Seattle - Tacoma skyline, towering over the metropolis in breathtaking beauty. Mount Rainier’s highest elevation is 14,410 feet which is located at the summit, also called Columbia Crest. The glaciers on Mount Rainier are the sources of five major river systems: Nisqually, Cowlitz, White, Carbon, and Puyallup. These rivers provide water for plants, animals, and humans throughout western Washington.

#465 — A scenic picture taken of the Washington State Capitol Building located in state capital city, Olympia on a partly cloudy day. This capitol building was first occupied by the Legislature in March, 1927. The design is reminiscent of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It is also closest in design to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The building was constructed between 1912 and 1928. It is unique among state capitols in that instead of one large building, it consists of four separate buildings; the domed structure is the Legislative Building. The 287-foot high dome is the fourth tallest all-masonry dome in the world.
