Happy #thanksgiving to my fellow Americans who celebrate! Today, as any day, I am #thankful for our #publiclands, #nationalparks and #wilderness areas and all the #waterfalls, #mountains, #rivers, #canyons and #lakes!

#Columbus #ohio seen from the main street bridge. I had a proper camera with me, but this shot from my #pixel phone in nigh mtode with a tripod came out pretty dang good. #photography #cityskapes #landscapes #midwest

#Portland #oregon set aglow by warm morning light today. #photography #landscapes #pnw

Recent reports seem correct, today's #sunrise confirms #Portland is on fire. #oregon #pnw #photography #timelapse #skyline

Latourell Falls framed in autumn gold. #oregon #pnw #landscapes #photography #waterfallwednesday

The view of this waterfall through the trees gave me some halloween vibes. #photography #landscapes #hiking #waterfall #oregon #pnw

#Autumn creeping in at Multnomah Falls. I usually drive past Multnomah due to crowding when I'm photographing the Gorge, but this week I stopped. It was my first time capturing it with #Fall color. #oregon #pnw #waterfalls #photography #landscapes

Every year the big leaf maple trees go yellow around Halloween. 2025 is right on schedule. Volume on for a moment of #Autumn calm. #oregon #hiking #photography #peace #serenity

After taking photos for a bit here the sun disappeared. I walked away feeling very disappointed that I forgot to grab a few seconds of video. While going through files today I discovered I actually did capture video! Chush Falls, #Oregon. #beauty #peace #hiking #photography #waterfalls

Autumn colors near Tipsoo Lake at Mount #Rainier #nationalpark. #photography #landscapes #hiking #nature

When Rainier is hiding behind rain and fog it's a good opportunity to explore the waterfalls, lakes and streams. #nationalparks #photography #waterfalls #landscapes

#Autumn #color popping @ Mount #Rainier #nationalpark #photography #landscapes #hiking

Possibly my favorite capture of Mount Adams yet, despite the mountain hiding in the clouds. The mountain showed just a bit of it's slopes for a few brief minutes at sunset before disappearing into the fog. #washington #landscapephotography #photography #pnw #publiclands

Had this magnificent view of Mount Adams about 90 seconds before the mountain went hiding behind the fog again. #landscapephotography #publiclands #hiking #washington #pnw

A crisp autumn morning at Rainier. #nationalparks #photography #timelapse

#Autumn meadow moods in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. #photography #hiking #landscapes #publiclands #outdoors #fall

I love coffee, but cold autumn air and a perfect mountain #reflection is an even better way to wake up. #rainier #nationalparks #publiclands #photography #landscapephotography #hiking

Stunning sunrise conditions at Tipsoo Lake in Mount Rainier #nationalpark. #publiclands #sunrise #rainier #photography #landscapes #pnw

For my fellow outdoor adventurers; remember even though national parks are largely remaining 'open' during the shutdown, there will be no maintenance. If you visit pack out your garbage and use bathrooms outside the park. #craterlake #nationalparks #publiclands #photography #hiking

Testing the range limits of Bluetooth with a remote triggered self portrait at Lemolo Falls. #oregon #landscapes #photography #hiking #publiclands

The most photographed tree at #craterlake #nationalpark. Still hanging on as of #sunset on 9/18/2025. I love all the various perspectives this tree can provide of the lake for #photography. #publiclands #travel #landscapes #oregon

#Sunrise in the Three Sisters Wilderness in Central #Oregon last week. This is the payoff for sleeping in a bag and getting up at 5:30am to eat cold yogurt and drink cold coffee. #mountains #pnw #photography #landscapes #camping #publiclands

The 160 foot tall Lemolo Falls as viewed last week. #waterfalls #hiking #photography #oregon

The most magical spot I've ever photographed. Was just waiting for fairies or elves to emerged from the mossy woods. #landscapes #photography #hiking #oregon #pnw #waterfalls #publiclands #oc #nationalforests

Starting to see a bit of #autumn show up in the cascades. This is Salt Creek Falls September 19th. #waterfall #photography #landscapes #hiking #oregon #pnw #publiclands

Ran into this fairy-tale scene in #Oregon on a 2 day waterfall spree this week. Absolute #magic. #waterfall #pnw #hiking

The most wonderful time of the year is approaching and I'm not talking about Christmas! #photography #pnw #landscapes #publiclands #nationalparks #rainier #fall

You've probably seen a triple decker sandwich, but have you seen a triple decker #waterfall? #oregon #photography #hiking #nature

Tumalo Falls in Central #Oregon, taken last week. #waterfall #pnw #hiking #nature #photography #landscapes

Another view of the falls I posted yesterday. #Photography is a tool that gets me to stop and really think about what's in front of me while i'm out hiking. #Hiking is a tool that gets me #outdoors doing photography. #landscapes #oregon #pnw #waterfall

Unnamed waterfall in the central Cascades of Oregon. #photography #waterfall #landscapes #m43 #omsystem #oregon #pnw

A Happy Little Tree basking in morning sun and waterfall mist. #hiking #oregon #waterfall #photography #landscapes

A wider view of the #sunrise in the Mt Hood National forest than the one I shared yesterday. Taken 8-23-2025. #landscapephotography #photography #oregon #mountains #pnw #peace #calm #nature

Another chilly scene to take the edge off on day 3 of the pacific northwest heat wave. #hiking #photography #snow #oregon #pnw

Heatwave day 2 and I am surviving by reminding myself Fall will be here soon. #heatwave #whenisfall #oregon #photography

A colorful gift from the sun this morning before it proceeds to melt the entire pacific northwest. #photography #oregon #pnw #sunrise #mthood

Weather forecast has me dreaming of #snow hikes. #oregon #waterfall #photography #nature #peace #serenity

#MountHood peaking out from the clouds Monday. #travelphotography #landscapes #mountains #oregon

I have to go places for work sometimes and it's great when a sunrise or sunset takeoff or landing works out. #flying #photography #travel #cascades #pnw

✓ Majestic Mountain ✓ Beautiful Lake ✓ Bald Eagle #pnw #mountains #nature

Occasionally I remember to take some video on my hikes. #serenity #peace #oregon #hiking #photography

Tamanawas Falls - a popular waterfall that has eluded visitation by me for too many years. #landscapephotography #photography #hiking #oregon #pnw #waterfalls

#MountHood up close and personal after sunset. Love those magenta/violet hues on the mountain just after the sun goes down. #landscapephotography #photography #hiking #pnw #oregon #mountains #alpine #sunset #bluehour

Flowers line this subalpine stream just a few hundred feet below the treeline on #MountHood. These are the spots that make those 10-15 mile hikes pay off! #wildflowers #mthood #oregon #hiking #photography #landscapes #goldenhour #sunset

A serene evening at Deadmans Cove watching the waves roll in with a tree on the tiny island giving Bob Ross vibes. #sunset #landscapes #pnw #washington #serenity #pacific #beach

Abiqua Falls, Oregon tumbles over a large wall of columnar basalt into this large pool. This is a 30" long exposure taken well after sunset. #oregon #pnw #waterfalls #afterdark #photography #landscapes #hiking
