I thought February would be an appropriate time to post a new gallery of some of my favorite outdoors shots from various hikes etc. last summer. The full gallery can be seen on my “friends and family” photo sharing site, at http://imageevent.com/pmattf/misc/washingtonoutdoors2008. A couple highlights are included here.

The gallery includes photos from a hike up to Lookout Mountain in the North Cascades, to spend the night in the lookout cabin…

A few shots from around Lake Chelan…

Photos from a three day solo backpacking trip up to Spider Meadows and Spider Gap (can you spot my tent in this shot?)…

And a couple shots from Kayaking around Elliot Bay…

Again, if you want to see the rest, be sure to visit http://imageevent.com/pmattf/misc/washingtonoutdoors2008
