After chasing bears up in the tundra, we were walking back to our airplanes and this mom and her two cubs were along the shore of the lake. Mom looking for fish while the cubs rest. #wildlifephotography #photography #grizzly #katmai #alaska

Near Mt Adams WA, I found this pastoral scene and stopped to appreciate it. And take a pic. The mountain was hidden in the clouds, but that was OK. Not something I usually shoot, so it was a nice challenge. #photography #washington #Fallcolor #farming

Had a chance to do some creekin' over the weekend. Felt good to be back in the creeks and some fall color. I am a "water person" and love photographing water. #landscapephotography #creek #photography #washington #fallcolor #watermotion #PNW

Salmon snacks! A grizzly bear strips the skin off of a salmon in Katmai N.P., working to gather as much nutrients as possible before hibernation. #wildlifephotography #photography #katmai #grizzly #animals

A sow caught a fish and her two cubs wanted a piece of it. Shot in Katmai N.P. a couple of weeks ago as the Fall color was at its peak! #wildlifephotography #grizzly #photography #alaska #nationalparks #bears

Two siblings play fighting in the water one day. I loved the rim light around the bears and of course, the teeth! #wildlifephotography #photography #katmai #alaska #bear #grizzly

I'm Back! I returned home from Alaska, leading my grizzly bear workshop in Katmai N.P. We had an amazing group and a fantastic time amongst the bears. Temps were cold (low 30's) and Fall color was at its peak! Here are a few quick edits and I'll be posting more as time allows

Ferns in the Hot Rainforest in Olympic N.P. Amidst the chaos of the forest, I often look for smaller scenes to capture the essence of a location using just a couple of elements. #landscapephotography #nature #PNW #fern #photography

Foggy conditions at sunrise in the Columbia River Gorge. The ethereal nature of fog makes it so captivating and engaging to photograph. #landscapephotography #oregon #PNW #photography #fog #sunrise

Columbia River Gorge, areas near Mt Adams, Silver Falls state park, Hwy 6 towards the beach. Some great areas all around Portland

It sure feel like Fall is on the doorstep here in the PNW. Cool mornings, more leaves on the ground, shorter days. This is my favorite time of year in this area! #landscapephotography #fall #PNW

Longing to be at the Oregon coast. The ocean calms and soothes the soul and refreshes the spirit. I need my dose of ocean! #landscapephotography #oregon #PNW #photography #oregoncoast

Blowing Bubbles - A bear pushing a bow wave and blowing bubbles as it swims across a river towards us. One week until take-off for my Grizzly Workshop. Can't wait! Should have an amazing time in the field with these amazing animals. #wildlifephotography #alaska #grizzly #photography

Another from the dahlia fields of Oregon. Can't go wrong with a blast of pink and a dash of water drops! #flowerphotography #PNW #flowers #dahlia #oregon

Sea Star and muscles along the Oregon Coast. Love the single pop of color in this field of muscles. A great morning this was! #oregon #beach #PNW

Sunset along the Oregon Coast. I loved how there were these cross ripples running perpendicular to the ocean, across the ripples. The design of this caught my attention! #landscapephotography #sunset #oregon #ocean

thanks Bob! This is all natural lighting. As you know, finding the right subject is half the battle, so picking and choosing until I found this flower with the background was the key.

Dahlia flower...so vibrant with lots of shape and flow. The fields are winding down for this year unfortunately. Always makes September fun working to come up with something new. #nature #flowerphotography #photography #dahlia #oregon

One more dahlia shot...I had to process a few for a video I just posted on my YouTube channel with tips about shooting flowers. I found this one interesting, both in color and patterns. #flowerphotography #nature #photography #dahlia
