Winthrop Weekend

Mazama (Winthrop), the host of many of my childhood memories, our family's tiny cabin and the location of our weekend getaway to visit my younger brother Joseph. It may be a bit of a drive for a few short days of the weekend, but it is well worth it. As we wandered mountain streams, catching wild trout in glistening pools of crystal blue waters, hunkered down in the cabin weathering the summer thunder storms, and marveled at the beauty of new growth amidst the charred remains of a burnt forest I am reminded of how great our Creator is. What is barren He fills, what was destroyed He renews, what is pure and lovely He preserves. I come home refreshed, filled and eager to return to the beauty that is the Methow Valley.




Memories of things so familiar.





Here fishy fishy fishy.
