Savor the geographical diversity-and sheer beauty-of the Evergreen State with Washington on My Mind. More than 150 full-color photographs-stunning images from every region of the state-bring Washington's natural wonders vividly to life. Quotes from notable Washingtonians and others who love the state accompany the dramatic photos. John Muir, John Steinbeck, Captain George Vancouver, and William O. Douglas share their visions of this extraordinary place. Thumb through the pages of Washington on My Mind, and you'll discover lighthouses and loggers, tulip fields and kayakers, hot-air balloons and the snow-capped peaks of the Cascades. You'll see fields of wildflowers along the Columbia River Gorge, wooden boats on Lake Union, and a pod of orcas swimming off the northern coast. From the grain-rich fields of the Palouse to the dense rain forests of the Olympic Peninsula, form the slopes of Mount Baker to the tranquil meadows of the San Juan Islands, Washington on My Mind captures different from the next, each equally beautiful. And you'll meet the people of Washington. Fishermen and women, workers in the woods, painters and musicians, rafters, hikers, and climbers of mountains-they form the human mosaic that makes Washington state one of the most livable in the nation. With gorgeous photographs and inspired words, Washington on My Mind celebrates the "charmed land of the American continent." This magnificent book will keep Washington forever on your mind and in your heart.
