I'm a landscape/wildlife/nature photographer living in the Pacific Northwest. If it's outdoors, in the woods, in the mountains, or on the coast ... I'll probably photograph it!

Umbrellas up everyone ... it's starting to rain!

A group of bird's nest fungi attached to a small twig. The "eggs" inside the nest contain the spores, and rely on raindrops to splash them out of the nest.

Still finding a few 'shrooms here and there in the western Oregon forest.

Last of the autumn leaves. We're having days of heavy fog here in western Oregon, and the fog creates a special stillness in the forest as we transition from autumn into winter.

I had been looking for a red Amanita mushroom all fall, and finally found a group of three last week.

Two mushrooms that made an interesting pair, found in the forest near home in western Oregon.

As fog lifted on a sunny day in the Oregon Coast Range, we were treated to a fogbow, caused by sunlight refracting through droplets of fog. They lack much color, and are somewhat rare, so it was a treat to see.

I was heading home from my photo-walk yesterday when I found these interesting fungi. I believe a type of Helvella. I had to get some closeups of those textures.

A tiny mushroom clings to the side of a tree in western Oregon. There were dozens of these mushrooms, that looked like little umbrellas.

Enjoying the colors at a local waterfall ... they won't last long with all the rain this week.

Its work finished, its life nearly over ... a yellowjacket clings to a mushroom on a freezing morning. After being chased by them all summer when I passed their ground nest on the trail, I can't really say that I'll miss them when they're gone.

A recent sunset on the southern Oregon coast, when the sky exploded with color.

The Milky Way from a beach in southern Oregon. One of the last nights of the year to see the galactic core, until it returns in the spring of 2026.

I found these little beauties on a walk recently. I love it when I can find them before they turn slimy from a rain ... not always easy here in the Oregon coast range!

You don't have to be big and strong to be mighty. This tiny mushroom stands tall among its friends.

It's mushroom season! Tiny mushrooms in a forest in western Oregon. The tall 'shroom has an even more tiny insect visitor.
