“Labyrinth of Hoodoos” — Planned for a winter storm at Bryce Canyon for weeks (2017).
10-hour drive.
Froze all night in back of truck.
Sunrise sucked.
Cold toes.
Storm cleared anyway during the day.
Worth it!

"Morning Pastels" - One of those memorable sunrises taken in Capitol Reef Nat'l Park several years ago. The large monoliths and subtle clouds were catching the first light of day providing a soft painterly feel to this scene. #landscapephotography #southwest #sunrise

"Sea You There" - A small glimpse of the many wonders found along the Olympic National Park coast. In this case rock and water, instead of rainforests, are the main attraction.

Aloft - I was anticipating heavy snow on the mountains at Great Sand Dunes NP several years ago, to capture a nice contrasty image. Unfortunately, not much snow. But seemingly out of nowhere, these lenticular clouds appeared. Wow! Not one to focus on just sky in my images, but THIS was special.

"Show-Off" A Pacific Madrone tree never blends in—and this one isn’t even trying. Unique is understatement for this deciduous evergreen tree. After a rain, rich colors are often revealed. The contrast between the cinnamon thin bark and green trunk appear to glow. Enjoy!

"Stillness" - Another of the many reflections I captured this past autumn. Reflections, besides creating natural symmetry, often add a sense of depth to an image. They also add a abstract and painterly quality to an image, making it stand out from a straightforward landscape shot. Enjoy!

"Wings of Winter" - One of the joys of winter in the Skagit Valley (WA), is the arrival of thousands of wintering snow geese and swans. Watching these Trumpeter Swans pass overhead is equal parts wonder and disbelief as they are massive birds. #BirdsInFlight, #WinterWildlife, #PacificNorthwest

"Layers of October" - As I've previously mentioned, there is not a lot of aspen groves in Washington, but when one finds them, the mix of aspen and other colorful bushes can be spectacular. Love the painterly feel of this one.

"Branches of Gold" - While out taking autumn images, this scene reminded me to always look up while under a tree. I definitely am enamored by oaks trees in general with their gnarly and twisted branches, but add in some backlit golden leaves - wow! #landscapephotography #autumn #fineartprint

"Summit of Stillness" - Winter is here! I really like these winter scenes displaying the interplay of cold tones and warm sky, the textural depth in the snow-covered trees, and the subtle transition from shadow to light. Certainly makes cold toes worth it to witness these scenes. Cheers!

"Autumn in Motion"- Cool currents, warm tones, and a reminder that nature’s pretty good at cheering us up!

"Tanglewood" - Wild, tangled, and wonderfully chaotic — that’s the style of these mighty oaks. Add in that warm, gentle autumn light and, well… there’s no way I’m walking past without taking a photo (or two or three...)!

Turning reality into abstract art is how I best describe water reflection photography. Humans are wired to perk up when we see patterns or balanced shapes. Reflections are the ultimate expression of symmetry. And with the right composition, reflections lend themselves to a bit of mystery.

"Autumn's Serpentine Passage" - How about some morning vibes from the Klickitat River Canyon,WA? No doubt I am enamored by oak trees. Their gnarled bark, sweeping limbs, and sculpted leaves make them wonderfully photogenic. Add in some fog and some real magic happened.

"October’s Silence" - As the fog lifted in the Okanogan-Wenatchee Nat'l Forest, what was a dark and gray, turned into a hillside ablaze with color! It's moments like this that bring so much fun to my photographic journeys.

"Mirror of the Season" - Nestled in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, Nason Creek becomes a quiet haven for fall color — and on rare, windless mornings, the surface turns to glass.

Time to post some autumn color! From above, this creek bottom looks alive — water weaving through golden vegetation. Although initially divided, flowing water all comes together creating nature's own abstract art.

"Harvest Glacier" - Bathed in the glow of a full harvest moon, Mount Shuksan stands like a silent guardian of the night—its icy crown shimmering beneath the celestial spotlight. This is certainly going to be an autumn memory I will have for a long time. #landscaspephotography

"Fairy Falls" - A silky curtain of water, draped in emerald vegetation and crowned with sunlight. A short recent visit to the Columbia Gorge was certainly a nice way to end the summer!

"Glacial Smoothie" Glacial runoff from the Cascades (WA), turn rivers into this magical turquoise, minty smoothie look because glaciers are basically giant, slow-moving blenders. As they grind across bedrock, they pulverize the stone into the powders called glacial flour. #landscapephotography

The great pumpkin takeover is in full swing. If it can be pumpkin-spiced, it will be pumpkin-spiced. Lattes, muffins, candles, deodorant… I’m half-expecting pumpkin-spice brake fluid to hit the shelves! And, yes, fall landscape photography is imminent!

"Emerald Curtain" - Water, stone, and trees. Capture those elements in an interesting composition, with some stunning light, and one has photo they can be happy with. And I was certainly in the right place at the right time to capture this scene along the Boulder River, WA.

Fuzzy Giants - Deep in the Hoh Rainforest these old maples are adorned with a heavy coat of moss. This sky perspective allows for tree separation and an abstract quality.
