Old friends of mine from Portland came to Seattle and we spent the day together. It was a magnificent day -- we went to Snoqualmi Falls. Everytime I have an opportunity to visit one of the incredibly beautiful places here in the northwest I am reminded all over again of the magic in nature and in the beauty that is all around. It takes my breath away! I share some that beauty with you tonight along with some other people's words about nature and beauty.
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
Rachel Carson
It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.

Yes, indeed. I love being a tourist in my own state. The natural beauty here is breathtaking, especially at this time of year.
Beautiful snaps. Do you have any other view of the falls like entire falls.
Waterfalls are so complete and owerwhelming entities. Great stuff.
Rajesh, I do have some other views of the falls and I'll post them in a few days. You might like to check out my earlier post on Snoqualmi Falls -- it was one I did for That's My World several weeks ago.
That falls is simply amazing!
Beautiful words and great photos.
Sylvia, these are beautiful photos and I especially like Frank Lloyd Wright's quote. Thank you for sharing.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
The falls are really lovely. Water falls bring us so much joy, by sight and sound.
Beautiful earth, beautiful nature, beautiful world and beautiful words. All beautiful to sum up in a simple word Beauty!
Those are such beautiful photos- I'm sure you and your friend got all "topped-up" with nature from visiting there!
Great pics. Boy I need some time off....
I was born in Seattle and spent most of my childhood in Portland Oregon. We used to drive outside of town to visit Multnomah Falls. I absolutely love visiting your blog so I can be reminded of how wonderful it is UP THERE. The pictures are gorgeous.
Those falls are lovely, can't wait to see them.
I love waterfalls – your pictures are really nice. I think the area around waterfalls are “power” places, don’t you?
Gorgeous shots, I'm jealous of your material there with those falls!
You are so lucky to live there. We were totally impressed with how beautiful Washington state was.
