Blue Skies and a Blue Lake fit my mood today. I was parked up above Patterson Lake on my way to Sun Mountain Lodge when I saw this view. This photograph was taken in Winthrop Wa (Washington State), in the beautiful Methow Valley. The Methow is a small jewel of an area not too far from Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. Okanogan County is such a great place to live for all of the sunshine and outdoors recreation.
