Barnacles waiting for the moon to pull the sea back to them. #TidesOutTuesday #pnw #SalishSea #photography #naturephotography #barnacles #Washington
Most of the frame is a rock covered in barnacles, the sea is at the top of the frame.

Stumbled upon this work of art while hiking yesterday. #MushroomMonday #optoutside #photography #getoutside #pnw #nature #fungi
A series of cream-colored mushrooms fruiting from a fallen log. The log has a pattern of dark and light stripes over its length.

Artemis woke up early to study this match from every angle. She says Wrexham need to watch out for Jerry Yates. He was a bright spot for Derby last season. That man can score goals. #askwxm #swfc #caturday

In the second-growth forest around my house there are many large trees, but there are also remnants of the giants who came before.

An old stump of a cedar tree that is covered in moss and sword ferns. There is an evergreen sapling growing from it, as well.

A late afternoon walk yesterday gave me a few moments of reflection. #TidesOutTuesday #SalishSea #optoutside #photography #getoutside #pnw #scape #seascape
Grey, rocky beach in the foreground, with Eld Inlet reflecting the far shore. Sun is setting behind a hill on the left. Blue sky and wispy, white clouds are above.

It’s fun to see Mark and Lucy standing with the crowd, when the Sgorio cameras pan over the stands. #askwxm

Happy #Caturday! Artemis is up early with me to watch #wxmafc v #QPR and sing the praises of pipe cleaners as the best cat toy.

A chilly, foggy day on the trails. Perfect. #ForestFriday #optoutside #photography #forestscape #getoutside #pnw #scape
A dirt path cuts through a temperate rain forest. Sword ferns and moss-covered evergreens on both sides of the trail. A cedar tree is in the center of the frame.

The world may seem upside down these days, but water still tumbles toward the sea. #WaterfallWednesday #getoutside #photography #nature #pnw #waterfall
A river and waterfall cut through mossy, fern covered rocks. Evergreen trees line both sides of the stream.

A car left quietly in a field near Hartsel, Colorado. I shot low so the grass and plants could press into the frame, letting time and landscape do the storytelling.

Worth noticing.

A weathered, rusted car sits partially hidden in tall grass in a rural field near Hartsel, Colorado. Larger plants and trees frame the scene, and the low camera angle emphasizes overgrowth and surface detail on the car’s front quarter.

A foggy morning on Eld Inlet. #TidesOutTuesday #SalishSea #optoutside #photography #getoutside #pnw #scape #seascape
A dead tree, covered in barnacles and mussels is protrudes from the water and crosses the picture. Fog shrouded evergreens and a sandy beach can be seen in the upper right of the frame.

A picture of Martin Luther King Jr. with a quote from him, “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”

It’s another misty, mossy, mushroom Monday here. My favorite. Hope your part of the world is just how you like it. #MushroomMonday #MossyMonday #optoutside #photography #getoutside #pnw
Mushrooms growing from the base of a moss-covered log. Another mossy log is to the left, fern fronds to the right, and dead leaves on the forest floor in the foreground.
