Little Girl On a Big Stump

The theme day for today is BIG, and if there's one thing the pacific northwest has, it's big trees. This one, alas, only used to be a big tree... now it's a big stump. Still, it was big enough that it just about gave me a heart attack when I came out of our camper to find my not-quite-3-year-old on top. A big stump, but small enough for an ambitious little girl to climb! She did need help down, however.

  1. What a cutie, what a climber. How did she get all the way up there? And were there splinters to remove at the end of the adventure? Really great BIG entry, lizziviggi.

  3. Super shot---yes it is a big stump. You have an adventurous little one---don't let her lose it.

    Yes that is how I see Rainier from my house. It still seems to have lots of snow--look at Baker it looks not so snowy right now but maybe it is shadows or the angle one sees it. Hmmmmm!! MB

  6. Thanks for your comments, everyone!

    Brattcat-- There were no splinters, luckily; the stumps in that area are soft and spongy. There were lots of handholds and footholds for her!

    Small City Scenes-- This picture was taken about a year ago, so my now almost-four-year-old is much more cautious than she used to be! But if you ask me, it's in a good way. She's still willing to take risks, just maybe not such neck-breaking ones! Yes, Mt. Baker is VERY short of snow. I need to get some hiking done up there before it all comes back, as I hope it will.

    Lorelle-- I know! She looks so baby-faced in this picture!
