The north face of Mount #Everest (Chomolungma) towering over the #Rongbuk monastery in #Tibet. Still blows my mind that, standing at just over 17000 feet, there’s another 12000 feet to go to the summit.

First US visit for me to this magnificent geological experiment on this 2008 visit. As a citizen scientist it offers great opportunities to discuss @kingcountywa.bsky.social all those years latter 😊
Today is also the 45th anniversary of Mount St. Helens blowing her top. I call this image, from 2008, “Blast Zone”.

Glad you took the time to give yourself this opportunity -still love the fact that you just went for it to honor a childhood dream #selfcare
Where does time fly, lol. Twenty years ago today, May 18, just after dawn I took this panoramic of Mount #Everest and her sister peaks #Changtse (Bei peak), #Lhotse, and #Nuptse, from the 18500 foot summit of Kala Pattar. What a trek (and memory).

Privileged to be allowed to pack lunches for these adventures and drive shotgun #familyfun
Been a while since I posted any #wildlife so here’s a short-eared #owl, posing with what seemed to be a somewhat coy expression on Whidbey Island, not far from the Keystone ferry terminal.

One of my favorite images from this trip
Butter lamps, with offerings from the devoted, light up a dim cave intended for solitude and #Buddhist contemplation, close to a temple on the outskirts of #Lhasa, #Tibet

Took a visit to the #Seattle Japanese Garden on Friday. Wasn’t particularly satisfied with any of the color images I took, but I did like how this 7 image panoramic composite from my modified 830nm #infrared camera turned out.

My entry for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #green - ridge lines and shadows from the setting sun across fields below Steptoe Butte in the #Palouse region of #Washington. The setting sun was so strong I could barely see through the viewfinder and just operated on a hunch!

I’m calling this one ‘ice bubble hyperspace’ 😀. Found a small container of water, completely frozen, yesterday with all these bubbles streaking toward the surface - couldn’t resist! Captured with the macro setting in my iPhone 16 Pro.

Hunting short-eared owl around sunset. Taken at ‘east 90’, an immensely popular birding spot near Edison & Bow in the Samish area of western Washington. This is a favorite late-fall/winter hangout for me. #photography #birds #owl

The sunset and sunrise images I’ve seen today, plus the fantastic sunrise this morning in the Seattle area, brought to mind this image from around 10 years ago. Taken on Moonstone Beach, near Cambria, CA, who’s to say only we humans appreciate a good sunset! #photography #wildlife #birds
