Here are two shots from the summit of Mt. St. Helens in July 2011. The first is across the mouth of the volcano towards Mt. Rainier and the second is part of the crater inside the volcano. It was amazing that the ground was warm and snow all melted except for the cornices.

It was a nice spring morning that Sunday in May, 1980. My hunting dog and I got up early and headed out to Sauvie Island (largest island in the Columbia River), where I often worked my hunting dog. All of a sudden, there it was!
I knew instantly that the mountain was blowing big time. Loading my dog into my rig, I checked and found that I had a camera with me with only two frames of film left on a roll of 35mm. Driving a short distance, I found this site on the island that offered a unique setting. I got out of my old International Scout, setup my tripod and took two quick frames of film.
I have always loved this image in how it shows natures complete extremes. The trees had not yet leafed out; however, they were budding with the essence of spring. The cattle grazing, the volcano, the reflection in the small lake, all come together.
As always, comments and/or questions are more than welcome.
