Around the World Without Leaving My Blog – 2014
Another year of communication destinations.
The following is a cloud I created containing all of the countries from which someone viewed my blog during the last year. Larger fonts represent nations with more numerous visits, smaller fonts represent those with less. Totals were unexpectedly skewed toward South America, likely due to my numerous posts on the World Cup. South Africa also made a splash … not even in the cloud last year, it rose all the way up to second tier. France, India and Indonesia all dropped out while Lithuania, Slovenia and the State of Palestine, among others, all made their debut.
As always, my thanks to every visitor, near and far.

Days of Salmon – Issaquah Salmon Days
The salmon return to Issaquah well before the festival has started.
Each October, the salmon and the tourists return to Issaquah, the latter in order to enjoy the annual Salmon Days Festival. We snuck in a week early, allowing us to enjoy the spectacle of the spawning fish without the accompanying throng of humanity. Here are some pics.

Mt. Spokane – Bald Knob Trail
Mt. Spokane’s Bald Knob trail offers expansive views with a touch of history.
In the first week of September, we hiked the Bald Knob trail to some high meadows and a restored CCC cabin. Here are some pics.
