Fun pics, sounds like you live in a beautiful place! I’ve seen Mt Rainer from a distance and yes, its gorgeous alright!
This picture you show is a tree shrew. It is not a true shrew. Trees shrews are found in southeast Asia, not North America. Please rectify!
Thank you Ms. Barnett, I hope this picture is better!
