Home destroyed by Washington wildfire - 2015 Up on a hill, high above the city of Wenatchee, lies an blackened hillside, completely devastated by one of this year's wildfires. I stumbled upon it today, almost entirely by accident, as I made my way, ever higher, to clear the rooftops and telephone poles and strip malls of this charming Northwest town, on my way to photograph some of the most beautiful hillsides in the region. But as I was walking, I spotted a burnt-out home, a quarter-mile and halfway up the darkened hill. "How cool!" I thought, as I rambled up the gravel road, "An honest to god picture from the burn!" I started snapping away, as usual. And as I did, an occasional thought would scurry through my head. I shot what was left of the kitchen and thought "Nobody's ever going to cook in there, again." A pile of clathrate, melted plastic that was once an air conditioner got me thinking of all the money spent to make this a home. I saw the stairs leading up to a door that would never once again open into the world, and invite a person in. And then, unbidden and without anticipation, the tears started forming in my eyes. I tried to keep on shooting, to wipe them away with my sleeve, and blink through them into the viewfinder. But still they came. At first they came slowly, welling up and absorbing back into my eyes. But soon, they were coursing down my face. Try as I might, I could not stop them. And then my friends, something happened which has not happened to me in a long time. I wept. With the camera down and my eyes closed I began to weep. The future was gone for this home. No family would ever raise its children here. No broken bones would be mended in the room of a boy or girl who climbed just a bit too high in one of its trees. No prom date would ever be greeted at the foot of its stairway, or kissed by its doorfront at the end of a magical night. No stars would ever sparkle down into a backyard where a family pitched its tent in the late cool evenings of summer. I could not do it, people. I turned the camera off and walked away. By the halfway point on that dark hillside, I was convulsing so hard with sobs, I had to drop down to my knees a cover my face with my hands. And behind those covered eyelids I could see, coursing out of that house, a thousand tendrils, weaving and growing thick as limbs, each one a life that would not be lived there, a part of a history that was not to be. The chioma grew full, and rich and as infinite as the vault of heaven. And then suddenly disappeared. And, God help me, I saw the bodies of those firefighters, the long lines of families collecting at shelters or at relief stations to pick up supplies. I saw the millions of acres and thousands of square miles glowing orange, crusted black and spitting flames like the maw of an unrepenting monster. The waves came over me and would not stop. I knelt there in the dust and felt as helpless as an infant, a lost child who had come upon the waters of Babylon. Good thing that burn areas don't exactly attract a lot of visitors. I knelt in solitude and prayed for it to stop. It is so easy to forget sometimes, but we are all a family, connected in both abstruse and very practical ways. What hurts one of us, hurts all of us. And by helping others, understanding them, and holding our hearts out to them, we also grow ourselves. If ever there were a time when that was true, it would be in this summer. And it would be in this place. I stood up finally and walked away from that place. I encountered a man who was hard-of-hearing, and asked him at the top of my lungs if everyone who lived in that house survived the fire. He responded, equally loudly, "Good thing they had a great Fire Department!" No matter, he did not understand me. I'm not so sure I understood myself. -

Don't miss this drive-thru diner on your way into Wenatchee. We stopped for a butterscotch shake and it was fantastic. Next time I'm going for a real fruit huckleberry shake. We didn't try the burgers, but they get great reviews, and any place that ponies up for Tillamook cheese is already a cut above. -
Trees along the hillside where the wildfire burned in Wenatchee this year. These are actually just a few yards from the house I posted back in September. It has taken me a long time to go back and look at these pictures. A very powerful memory there. Overwhelming, in fact. It is still difficult for me to understand or revisit that afternoon on the hillside. The world did not make sense for what must have been a brief, but seemed like a prolonged and never-to-be-finished, period of time. When I think of all that devastation, I still can't make sense of it today. -
The best place to view this marvel is at the Saddlerock Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wenatchee, Washington, which is where I took this photo. -

The Apple Capital Loop Trail through the Wenatchee Valley offers beautiful views of the Columbia River and the surrounding area. Bike, rollerblade, walk, or jog; you can hop onto the trail through many of the parks near the river. -
Living in the middle of a rainforest for the last three decades has made me a huge fan of -- the desert. Actually, anywhere east of the Cascades where the predominant climate veers towards the dry and ascetic, and the colors come in ranges and not a single verdant hue. Don't get me wrong, I do not think I could live without the mountains and the forests and the alpine meadows. It's just that, come winter, the sponge-bath they provide can become a little wearisome. If you want the colors of the desert and the high plains, head East from the mountains and you won't have far to travel. The general demarcation point in Washington for that switch in climate is probably Wenatchee. It's a pleasant town, with all the amenities, and East Wenatchee is its next-door neighbor. As you can see from this view, the landscape has completely transformed from the wetter, greener, and more mountainous terrain in the West to the austere pattern you see here. There are plenty of places to hike on this side of the Cascades, including a set of very respectable mountain peaks. But the sun actually makes an appearnce from time to time in the winter months. And a face full of sunshine can change your outlook almost in an instant. -

Go. Here. Huge menu of sandwiches, pizza, wraps, salads and calzones. Awesome rainbow tie dye theme brightens up your mood the moment you walk up to the door. And the food is fresh, homemade and excellent! -
On our way to Wenatchee and Leavenworth, we stopped by this market to use the bathroom and saw this beautiful tractor. My son loves tractors and so we stayed longer than expected to sit on this tractor. It was 4th of July so this turned out perfectly! #LifeAtExpedia -
