Attitude equals Altitude!

       Every day in our lives we have decisions to make on circumstances that come into our lives, We can choose to have a negative attitude, where we see the glass half empty or less and allow this negative attitude to dominate our days, keeping us from reaching our God given potential. Or we can choose to put our faith in our Heavenly Father and have a positive attitude where we see the glass half full or greater, and through this positive attitude reach new heights in our lives that we never dreamed possible. Join us in choosing faith, a positive attitude and a full glass for 2017 and see what new heights we can reach. Photography by David Weaver owner with Michele Weaver of BestLight.Photography and CreationScapes.Photography Specializing in Real Estate Photography and Fine Art Photography.

 One of my favorite things to do is to get out and immerse myself into some part of God’s creation. As a Photographer I find great joy and satisfaction in seeing all of the great detail that our Heavenly Father has created, from the vast expanse of the universe down to the smallest parts of creation, there is no denying The God of all creation. Please be sure to take some time in 2017 to get out and enjoy some part of the great outdoors. If you are a Realtor Please take some time to visit BestLight Photography.

On May 18, 1980 Mount St Helens erupted with a blast force equal to 24 megatons of TNT. Virtually everything within an 8 mile radius was obliterated, this area is called the Direct blast zone. My son and I took a hike in the next zone out called the Channelized blast zone, this zone extended out as far as 19 miles in some areas. In this zone trees were broken off at the base and laid down in a parallel alignment, you can also find in this zone areas that were somewhat protected from the blast, the evidence to this is all of the standing dead trees.

I have been very interested in this area since the eruption and what the re-vegetation looks like. So thirty six plus years later my son and I decided to hike up to Norway Pass and then on to Mount Margaret, This hike gave us some very spectacular views of MT ST Helens, Spirit Lake and the surrounding areas. From one of our vantage points we could see five of the Stratovolcano’s in the Cascade’s. Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson, the latter two are in Oregon.

On our hike we noticed that there are areas that are
