Annette Lake (Nov. 2023, iPhone 13s).

The trails along the I-90 corridor are little gems. Even in late Fall, you can get lucky with good weather, yet you still need to beat it out quickly unless you like hiking in the dark.

Golden Hour (Sedona AZ, iPhone 10X Nov 23 2018)

It’s hard to go wrong during Golden Hour, when the light is as much the subject as the subject.

Snow Lake Trail, Alpental (iPhone 6s, 2012).

Freshly introduced to traction spikes for hiking, and I did not know what I did not know about avalanche danger. Yet everything was awesome.

The sit command, unlocked!

Next: we are working on “touch”, where she offers her paw to touch my hand in a high five.

The sit command has been unlocked!

If Minna sits on command (left pic), she gets a freeze-dried salmon treat.

Overpass near Glen Canyon, AR (Oct. 2025, iPhone 16 pro).

Driving through Utah and Arizona has been a dream, with sunny skies, canyons everywhere, red rock serving as eye candy.

I did not stop for the canyons this time, though I have archived photos. #photography #glencanyon #nature

Sunset in Filmore, UT
(Oct. 2025, iPhone 16 Pro).

Light is everything. Makes my campground the work of fairies and magic.

Officially Fall here in the PNW, where the only thing chaotic and war-zone like is one’s opinion on protein drinks for $8 at Starbucks.

Here’s a collection of Fall leaves photos, past and present.

My nearby mountain (Tahoma, aka Mount Rainier, October 2025).

The “Big Dark” has finally begun after unusually warm temperatures in Fall, and the last long hikes and runs above 70F gives way to headlamps and long pants.

Last day of the season at Sunrise entrance to Mount Rainier National Park. 10/5/25

Seeing the mountain on such a clear Fall day never gets old.

Beautiful Fall hiking (Alpine Lakes, October 2021 iPhone 13s)

Again, I usually don’t include myself in the subject I’m shooting. I set up the shot for video, had someone hold the camera at a better height than ground, and I caught some air.

Scottish Parliment building (#Edinbrough #scotland Sept 2025 iPhone 16 Pro)

Love the morning light, perfect for nearby reflection pools to pick up the urban architecture.

National Monument (#Edinburgh #Scotland Sept. 2025 iPhone 16pro). View includes Edinburgh Castle.

Blue skies almost everyday of travel. Of note: it helps if you like to walk. Got 19,000 steps one of the days, with lots of stairs and narrow alley ways.

Old Man of Storr (Isle of Skye, Scotland, Sept. 2025).

iPhone 16pro, overcast conditions.

Moody weather fit the context perfectly. While it did clear up later in the day, the cloud cover made for just good enough conditions for a hike-run and picture opp.

Reconnecting with my local #bellydance community after a near nine-year hiatus due to a dramatic change in health.

This dance. It is intoxicating, mesmerizing, embodied experience, joyful.

As much as I love my work in mental health and coaching, I do think I will dramatically change my practice when I hit retirement, while continuing to equip the next generation of mental health professionals.

But I want Mom’s sleeping bag and pad!

Ms. Minna Thunderfoot slept with me in the iKamper rooftop tent on an overnight camp on #VashonIsland.

While coyotes yipped in the distance, we were nestled together for the night.
