When you hike up high and get to see how far you've come, it's weird! A saddle between peaks in the Washington Cascades.

Looking out on a vast valley/saddle between two running sets of peaks and crags. Evergreen trees cover the mountainsides all around. Some large rocks and a little snow can also be seen. They sky is bright but mostly white clouds.

Ho'okipa has giant waves and lots of surfers, just don't miss the jewel-colored tidepools!

Somewhat fish-eye view of rocks extending out over clear green ocean water. You can see straight down to the bottom of the water and lots of big lava rocks all around. There is also lots of green moss covering the rocks.

Amazingly clear, see-through water at this alpine lake in Washington state.

Low angle picture of a green-blue alpine lake with a mountain rising behind with snow on some of the slopes. The mountains around are mostly grey with lots of green trees dotting them. The water is so clear you can see through it to the rocks on the bottom of the shore.

Sedona is essentially one big poem about nature.

Red rock country with larger mountaintop on the left. Scrub bushes and trees in the central area and another red rock hill/mountain farther back on the right horizon

Moody Maui #sunset

#mareinelife #nature #hawaii #ocean #scape #seascape #eastcoastkin #love #peace #nokings #photography #outside #goodnight #bluesky
Subtle sepia-lie colors of a beach at sunset. Lava rocks are scattered all over the beach. You can see a faint reflection of the sky in the pooled water. The sunset is orange and muted.

Free to a good home - 4x4 metal prints of 4 of my photos. Got sent duplicates when I had these small prints on metal made. In the spirit of the holidays, I'll send one to anyone who wants it. That's all, no strings, no cost. The pics have a little more info in the alt. #photography #snorkeling #art
These are the 4 prints I have extras of. Just let me know which. All are from my snorkeling. Two are swimming turtles, one is a close-up of and ambon toby puffer fish and the other is several fish in a tidepool in close. Close-up of one of the metal prints with an ambon toby fish in close-up This is how they sit on the wall. They are 4x4 inches - cute and small This is the back of the metal prints with a hanger.

Hiking just after #sunrise added to the Red Rock drama.

#Sedona #nature #redrocks #Az #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape #desert #vacay #zen #peace #nokings #photography #sky
Photo of vast landscape of red rock towering structures. The land in-between them is populated by gazillions of trees. There is a huge difference in the lighting as the red rocks contrast a lot whether they are in sun or shadow.

The Cascades Mountains on a warmer day than today. I'm already moaning about missing summer.

Photo of a clear blue-green lake with rocks visible beneath the surface. On the left is the shoreline with pine trees. Behind is the rising mountain still with snow left on it. The sky is blue with puffy clouds.

Shot of Sedona red rock country with large outcroppings and a covering of trees nearby. There is a sign that says "Red Rock Secret Mtn. Wilderness - Coconino National Forest"

Our wildlife cam caught this coyote burying a branch (bone?) in the yard - and then got her again 5 days later when she dug it up and ran off with it! 😍🐕🦊

It may not be the Grand Canyon, but it's certainly grand and a canyon! #Sedona #nature #redrocks #Az #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape #desert #vacay #zen #peace #nokings #photography #sky
Long view of a wide canyon in red rock country with towering rocks all over and a valley filled with green trees. The sky is puffy white and blue.

Close up of an orange and white shrimp with long antennae. She's upside down clinging to the underneath of a rock in a shallow tidepool. Urchins are nearby.

#Sunrise at Big Beach, Maui. ☀️🌊☁️🌴

Muted sunrise scene from the cliffs above the ocean and beach. Trees and shrubs in the foreground. The ocean spreads out wide and blue with the low, early sun reflecting its yellow color on the ocean surface.

I'm happy to report that the tadpole got away! #herps #frogs #nature #amazing #photography #hiking #mountains #PNW
Yellow and black Garter snake on a log hanging over a pond, just inches above a happy looking tadpole. The snake's forked tongue is out and pointing right at the tadpole.

Local elk noses - for your booping pleasure. #mammals #deer #elk #nature #hiking #PNW #oregoncoast #love #goodnight #photography #eastcoastkin #bluesky #boop #beautiful
Two elk standing side-by-side. Both staring straight at me (the camera). They are brown, beautiful and fuzzy with big, black noses. Evergreen trees fill the background.

There are 22 frogs in this pic (numbered for your examination!). When the tadpoles mature in the summer, they all emerge at the same time. Summer is 6 months away - UGH. #herps #nature #frogs #pond #hiking #bluesky #nokins #photography
Photo of the edge of a pond with mud and rocks. There are tiny brown frogs all around. Many are hard to see as they are camouflaged. I have written numbers on all of them in yellow to count them all.
