A Late Winter's Sunset, Tatoosh Range - Mt. Rainier National Park

It was technically Spring, but this was taken during very Winter-like conditions a few weeks ago right after some fresh snowfall. I thought that these trees made for a nice composition in the foreground here.

Iceberg Lake - Glacier National Park, MT

I thought I would share an image taken on my favorite hike during a recent Summer trip to Glacier National Park. It was a really fun time hanging out with some good people that I'll never forget. At the last possible minute some clouds decided to roll in that evening over the peaks, which seemed to make for a nice atmosphere.

It's been a while since I've posted on here, so I thought I'd try catching up and share a new image. I recently returned from an incredible Summer trip to Glacier National Park. Made some new friends and got to hang out with wonderful people and talented photographers along the way. Here is an image taken at daybreak out in the Logan's Pass area near Mount Reynolds. There was no cloud action that morning, so the focus was turned instead towards a small flowing creek nearby and the surrounding wildflowers.

Thanks everyone for taking a look. :)

Ruckel Creek Falls - Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Here's an image I took this Spring on a nice hike and bushwacking down Ruckles Creek Canyon in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge. I opted for a vertical composition here to focus more on the closeup vivid green foliage around the falls. My contribution to #WaterfallWednesday curated by +Eric Leslie.

I revisited one of my favorite local waterfalls recently in the Issaquah Alps and thought I would share an image from there. This is a 20 second exposure taken using a 6-stop ND filter. Thanks everyone for taking a look. :)

Thank you to everyone who has recently added me to their circles. I decided to recently reprocess some images from a Summer trip to Glacier National Park last year. This image is from a day hike up to Avalanche Lake taken in late June on the Solstice. Thanks for taking a look. :)

Kiwanda at Dusk - Oregon Coast

Here's an image I took a few weeks ago during a great weekend trip to Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon Coast. I tried to create more of a misty, dreamy effect here with the water and tide as the night was settling in. This is a long exposure taken with a 6 stop ND B+W filter to slow down the shutter speed. Thanks everyone for taking a look. :)

Here's an image I took of Wahclella Falls while out on a recent hike in the Columbia River Gorge. The wildflowers around the area were starting to make an appearance, so I tried to capture some of the tiny purple blooms with the foliage by this area in the foreground.

Fairy Falls - Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

I'm finally getting around to processing some Spring images and thought I would share one from Fairy Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. The water is near its peak flow and I shot this in the morning as the sun was breaking through the clouds.

I've been getting excited lately for warmer weather and hiking out in the mountains around the wildflowers. Here is an image from last Summer that I recently decided to process. This was taken around dusk while out on a hiking trip with a good friend in the Berkeley Park area.

Ponytail Falls - Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

I recently spent some time in the Gorge and thought I would share an image that I brought back from there. The hike around Ponytail Falls is probably one of my favorite areas that I have been to. I frequently see images of these falls from the front, so I opted for a different composition and chose to take this shot from behind the falls, inside the small cave area.

I decided to post one more image of this handsome little guy from a trip to Mt Rainier back in January. Hanging out with a fox while photographing a gorgeous sunset makes for a pretty awesome evening all around.

I came across this Snoqualmie Falls image from a few years back and decided to reprocess it recently. This was shot on a Fall evening and I tried my best to bring out the colors of the leaves and moss nearby.

Trying to keep the ball rolling here by sharing an image everyday. Some new, some old. This is an old jammer. Still one of my favorite mornings of photography ever. I thought I was going to freeze my man-parts off standing in this frigid water for about an hour soaking wet.

Thought I would share a sunrise image that I took a few weeks ago at Gas Works Park here in Seattle. It was an awesome time getting to meet up with some outstanding photographers in the area and witness this lovely display that morning.

Here's an image I captured over the weekend at Mt. Rainier National Park. This was my first trip there during the winter and I was in awe at the beauty of the snow glistening everywhere around me. Towards sunset I managed to capture this scene as the sky lit up for a few quick minutes where I was before it vanished.

Happy New Year to everyone. I recently spent some time exploring the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon and thought I would share an image from one of my favorite areas there, Elowah Falls. Photographers generally compose images from farther away down the falls to show more of the surrounding rocks, waterflow and to avoid the mist, but what I was really interested in here was the beautiful vibrant moss everywhere. I tried my best to capture that here, while battling the mist up closer by the falls.

Happy Holidays to all who celebrate. I've been absent from G+ for the past few weeks due to the holiday season, but plan on being more active with uploading images soon. Here's an image from Deception Pass State Park's West Beach. It was a brisk, calm evening and the elements seemed to all come together to make a very nice colorful display.

Thank you to everyone who has circled me recently. This is an image taken last year at Fisherman's Bay on Lopez Island, one of my favorite places to capture sunsets. Those who are native to the PNW are probably already familiar with the San Juan Islands. I highly recommend paying a visit if you have never experienced the beauty there.

This image was taken over the Summer at Mt. Rainier on a lower elevation trail, when the Sunrise and Paradise areas were still covered in several feet of snow. I was going through the archives today and thought I would share it.

I thought I would share an image I took last year while hiking the Crystal Lakes Trail with a friend at Mt. Rainier National Park. After hiking 3 miles up a steady incline, we reached the Upper Crystal Lake Basin. A heavy mist covered the lake when we first reached the area, but after a few minutes the sun peeked through and the mist diminished. We were rewarded with this view...and the company of a few pikas nearby. :)
