"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!
Cheers!

"Autumn's Embrace" -Autumn is here—cue the crisp mornings, golden leaves, pumpkin-flavored-everything, and that serious urge to seek out all the flannel shirts and sheets! #landscapephotography #fallcolors

"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.
Best to ya!

"Crooked By Nature" - Some nice alpenglow at Smith Rock St Park, Oregon. Having the Crooked River wind through these glowing volcanic cliffs certainly adds to the overall impact of this classic desert scene.
Best to ya!

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.

Framed by ancient volcanic ash and sculpted by time, these massive walls in Cathedral Gorge State Park are ablaze with warm desert light as the sky opens up from above in this maze of narrow canyons. I always liked the abstract feeling of this desert scene.
Best to ya!

"Fernscape" - What's not to like about ferns? They add that nice touch of symmetry, texture, depth, and of course, the calming effect of their lush green hues. For me, they provide that ancient forest vibe as they have been around since the time of dinosaurs. Cheers!

This image, I call Merry Go Round, found a permanent display home at the Wyoming State Capitol!! I worked many years in Cowboy State and my connection to the state runs deep. So to be selected to represent Wyoming’s great scenery at the Capitol is beyond imagination. .
Cheers!

"Sanctuary of Stone and Sea" - An image from the edge of the continent—Cape Flattery, where wind-swept pines and ancient sea stacks shape a landscape both with ruggedness and raw elegance.
No doubt this is one of those quintessential Pacific Northwest scenes that evoke a real sense of serenity.

"Liquid Sapphire" Blue water. One deep canyon. And a whole lot of colorful ancient lava made this scene of Lake Billy Chinook an interesting photo to me.
Scenes like this certainly make getting up before sunrise so worthwhile!
Best to ya!

"Desert Lines" - Carved by wind, water, and an unreasonable amount of patience, these swirling sandstone waves tell a story millions of years in the making.
I really like how this B&W version leveraged the natural lines into a focal point of the image.

Rock Stars - On my recent trip to Oregon I spend some time around Lake Billy Chinook. I decided to check out these hoodoos and glad I did. I've photographed many hoodoos, primarily in Arizona/Utah, and always have been fascinated by how erosion has sculpted these pillars in "fashionable geology."

I always enjoy these "ribbon" waterfalls. Well done!

"Pretty in Pink" - In a few weeks the rhododendrons will be in peak bloom in the PNW. I look forward to finding some new areas to capture the Washington state flower. No doubt an exiting time of year with waterfalls and wildflowers!
Best to ya! #photography #landscapephotography #wildflowers

Thanks! I’ll be around the Gorge as soon as the wildflowers are near peak.

Is it waterfall season yet? This memory is from Wahclella Falls, tucked within the Columbia River Gorge, the falls spill powerfully into a turquoise-green pool, framed by moss-laden rocks. Cheers!

Is mud your thing? In this case, an abstract of sunbaked earth. The deeply cracked mud creates intricate patterns, focusing on texture, pattern, and form. Being neutral art, I like how it is subject to one's own interpretation. So, even cracked things can be interesting, maybe?😉

Can prickly be beautiful? I definitely believe so when a cactus is producing flowers. This is one of my favorite macro images of a shimmering Mountain Ball cactus flower taken in near Estes Park, Colorado.

As photographers, I believe we often get too wrapped in creating a better presence on social media. What we overlook is how important it is to actually print occasionally to validate our work. For me, the print is ultimate goal. How about you?
