Paradise and one of the visitor centers at Mount Rainier National Park

Below: Karen Duquette photographed Mount Rainier's reflection in the window at Paradise Visitor's Center.

Below: Engraved stairs leading to a very steep path up to Mount Rainier.

Below: The trail to Myrtle Falls - an easy, but steep one-mile round trip hike

Below: Karen Duquette photographed a bee on a flower

Below: Lee Duquette played in the snow and threw a snowball at Karen Duquette.

Karen took a photo just as the snowball left Lee's hand. (2013)

Below: Karen Duquette photographed the snowball in mid air. Lee Duquette looked very pleased with his actions.

Below: Karen Duquette photographed streams of water flowing under hard-caked snow.

Below: Looking down from the bridge to the top of Myrtle Falls

Below: Then the two RV Gypsies walked down several steep stairs to get to their final view of Myrtle Falls with Mt. Rainier far in the background. It was such a bright sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, so Mount Rainier barely showed up in the photo against such a bright sky.

Below: Zooming in on the bridge at the top of Myrtle Falls and Mt. Rainier.

The two RV Gypsies went back down the path, away from Myrtle Falls, and towards the parking lot. They saw a deer running, and they stopped to take a few photos, even though they have seen a lot of deer on this trip this year.

Below: Oh my goodness! The deer is Squatting to POOP!

Below: The two RV Gypsies stood still on the trail, and the deer kept coming closer to them. Karen Duquette thought it would eventually run right by her, just like the deer in Yellowstone did in the past.

However, The deer stopped to scratch an itch! Then it started to eat the flowers, so the two RV Gypsies continued on their way.
