When Rainier is hiding behind rain and fog it's a good opportunity to explore the waterfalls, lakes and streams.

Possibly my favorite capture of Mount Adams yet, despite the mountain hiding in the clouds. The mountain showed just a bit of it's slopes for a few brief minutes at sunset before disappearing into the fog.

Had this magnificent view of Mount Adams about 90 seconds before the mountain went hiding behind the fog again.

I love coffee, but cold autumn air and a perfect mountain #reflection is an even better way to wake up.

For my fellow outdoor adventurers; remember even though national parks are largely remaining 'open' during the shutdown, there will be no maintenance. If you visit pack out your garbage and use bathrooms outside the park.

Yes I have some photos on clearer days of the deep blue water. You really need direct sunlight hitting the water to bring it out.

The most photographed tree at #craterlake #nationalpark. Still hanging on as of #sunset on 9/18/2025. I love all the various perspectives this tree can provide of the lake for #photography.

#Sunrise in the Three Sisters Wilderness in Central #Oregon last week. This is the payoff for sleeping in a bag and getting up at 5:30am to eat cold yogurt and drink cold coffee.

The most magical spot I've ever photographed. Was just waiting for fairies or elves to emerged from the mossy woods.

The most wonderful time of the year is approaching and I'm not talking about Christmas!

You've probably seen a triple decker sandwich, but have you seen a triple decker #waterfall?

You know I have never converted an image to grey scale before. I'm going to give that a try when I'm back at my computer.

This Wandering Photographer @indieaz.bsky.social · Sep 5

It depends on length of hike and what I am photographing. Most my photos from hikes are with my OM System om-1 camera and 12-45 f/4 lens.
