It's a beautiful #BlueSkyMonday. Spring is knocking on the door this week, and I'm ready for it. #MountainMonday #pnw #photography #landscape #clouds #mountains #washington #nature

Tracing the snowmelt back toward the clouds. The Cascades in their truest, most contemplative form for #Stunday. #photography #pnw #landscape #landscapephotography #mountains #nature #naturephotography

A little Wyoming #unshine for your weekend timeline with Devils Tower and a well-timed sunburst. ☀️ #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #sun #landscape #rocks #nature #wyoming #scape #landscapephotography

Subalpine stillness. I'm counting down the weeks until I'm back in this kind of weather. 🌲🌲🌲 #ForestFriday #scape #pnw #fog #trees #nature #landscape #photography

A soft sunset over the sound. 🌅 #sunset #photography #pnw #landscape #clouds

Fall in the high country: deep reds, golden grass, and a heavy dose of mountain mist. #ColorADay #RedWed #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #fog #autumn #pnw

The tide pulls back, leaving secrets on the sand. A silver-toned morning where the mountains hide in the mist and the trees stand guard over the beach. Just the salt, the stone, and the edge of the world. #TidesOutTuesday #RockinTuesday #photography #ClassicMono #beach #landscape #pnw #seascape

Mount Baker wearing a classic lenticular cap for #MountainMonday 🏔️ #photography #PNW #landscapephotography #mountains #clouds #ClassicMono #nature #hiking

A quiet #stunday on the trail where the clouds hang low with just enough weather to make you slow down and pay attention. #photography #nature #hiking #mountains #landscape #pnw #clouds #landscapephotography #naturephotography

PNW weather isn’t about rain, it’s about the weight of the sky. These clouds aren’t just passing through; they’re settling in, claiming the ridge and wrapping the wetlands in a thick, somber shroud. #BlueSkyArtShow #clouds #photography #PNW #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #moody

I woke up to -10 degrees this morning and can't wait to thaw out and get back into the forest. I've got 8 more weeks until getting back on the road and it can't come soon enough. #ForestFriday #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #pnw #river #trees #nature

A quiet evening in the Badlands, where the low sun casts a warm, golden glow over the eroded hills. #ColorADay #YellowThu #photography #badlands #landscape #nature #travelphotography #goldenhour #landscapephotography

Wednesdays are for waterfalls 🙌 #WaterfallWednesday #photography #yellowstone #waterfall #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nationalpark

Low clouds and a quiet tide. There’s nothing like the mood of the coast on a grey day. #TidesOutTuesday #PNW #photography #beach #landscapephotography #nature

Just some classic Teton views for #MountainMonday. The contrast between the rugged peaks and the early fall colors on the shoreline is everything. 🏔️ #BlueSkyMonday #nature #landscape #photography

It's a cold #Stunday, but maybe this glowing sunset over Puget Sound will warm everyone up. #ColorADay #OrangeSun #photography #sunset #landscape #pnw #nature #wildflowers

Baby, it's #cold outside 🥶 Winter on Lake Michigan is a different beast entirely. I woke up to -18 degrees this morning. Stay safe and warm this weekend! #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #ice #nature #michigan #sunset #landscape #landscapephotography #winter

Granite, pine, and high-altitude light. This bridge is usually a zoo, but if you time it right, it’s just you and about a billion tons of rock (and in my case, a grizzly). #scape #ForestFriday #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #tetons #nationalpark

I don't know if you've noticed, but it's been cold lately, and it's only getting colder this weekend... 🥶 #winter #photography #frozen #bluesky #ice #michigan #lighthouse #landscapephotography #long #JanuArty2026

Morning mist and mountain gold viewed through a window in the fog. #WindowsOnWednesday #photography #landscapephotography #colorado #fog #clouds #nature #autumn #wilderness

Nothing quite says #RockinTuesday like an 867 foot tall igneous intrusion. I can still smell the Ponderosa pines that perfume the air at Devils Tower. #geology #photography #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #travelphotography #trees #rocks #bluesky

The forest floor has its own way of glowing if you’re willing to get low enough to see it. 🌲 🍄 ✨ #macromonday #mushroommonday #mushroom #fungi #photography #nature #naturephotography #macro

Rain shafts and salt flats. Antelope Island was looking particularly brooding on this hike. #stunday #utah #photography #landscapephotography #nature #travelphotography #greatsaltlake

Crisp air and the first signs of gold in the high country. There’s nothing quite like autumn in Colorado when the rivers are low and the sky is this clear. 🌲⛰️ #scape #ForestFriday #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #autumn #river #colorado #nature #naturephotography #bluesky

Some days the #PNW just hands you the perfect mood on a silver (gray) platter. #photography #landscapephotography #seascape #nature #coast #island #foggy #moody

I don't take many phone pics these days, but since I just got a new iPhone I had to see how well it performs at night. I am actually quite impressed. Maybe I'll pull it out of my pocket more often. ✨ #nightsky #stars #landscapephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography

The high desert in high definition. You can almost feel the heat radiating off the boulders and the dry crunch of the grass. The scale of the Great Basin is incredible. #RockinTuesday #utah #landscapephotography #nature #rocks #desert #greatsaltlake #naturephotography #hiking

Classic #PNW. Big Four Mountain standing out against that big blue sky. 🏔️ Is it summer yet? 😆 #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #photography #landscape #nature #landscapephotography #bluesky

Mt. Shuksan looking as stunning as ever, posing behind the only kind of ice that belongs in this country. #stunday #photography #ice #frozen #pnw #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #mountains #bluesky #landscape

A lucky alignment where the verdigris of the bell tower and the fleeting light of a storm work together as the spire's aged patina cuts right through the most #vibrant colors nature has to offer. 🌈 #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #rainbow #architecture #nature #weather #art #sky

Deep orange needles underfoot and a heavy canopy of green above. Chasing that soft, diffused light through the forest is always worth the early start. #scape #ForestFriday #landscape #landscapephotography #photography #nature #trees #pnw #foggy #naturephotography

Another misty, moody morning in the #PNW 🌲🏔️ #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #nature

Deep in the green. Nothing beats the textures of a damp forest floor. Moss-covered stones, ancient ferns, and the softest trickling waterfall. #pnw #WaterfallWednesday #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nature #waterfall #moss #landscape #forest

Ruby Beach at its best. The mist and the golden hour light made the ankle-twisting walk through the driftwood worth it. #TidesOutTuesday #RockinTuesday #PNW #photography #landscapephotography #seascape #beach #sunset #goldenhour #waves #nature #naturephotography

Nothing beats the quiet of an alpine lake in the Cascades. Counting down the days until summer returns. #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #photography #landscapephotography #forest #hiking #nature #pnw

Canyon floors and autumn leaves. My favorite corner of Starved Rock State Park in Illinois. 🍁 Happy #Stunday! #photography #ColorADay #OrangeSun #canyon #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #autumn

As the seasons shift, I find myself drawn back to the architecture of the undergrowth. This fiddlehead is a masterclass in tension and symmetry, waiting for the perfect moment to unfurl. #BNWmacro #photography #macro #ClassicMono #naturephotography #nature #fern #geometry #artyear

Moody mountain layers. A quiet morning following the meltwater back to the source. The PNW doing what it does best. 🌲🏔️ #scape #ForestFriday #pnw #mountains #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nature #washington

A tiny emerald voyager, clad in armor of woven light, pausing mid-journey among the pink petals. #InsectThursday #bloomscrolling #photography #nature #insects #naturephotography #macro #macrophotography #wildlife

Happy New Year! Don't listen to TLC, you go ahead chase those waterfalls in 2026! Rivers and lakes are pretty good, too, so don't miss those, either. #WaterfallWednesday #photography #pnw #waterfall #landscape #landscapephotography #mountains #hiking #newyear #nature #naturephotography

When I took this photo, I had no idea a man was staring down at me from the pier at the time. Typically, I'd remove the distraction, but I left him in because I like his hat. 😆 #TidesOutTuesday #photography #pnw #beach #landscape #landscapephotography #seascape #ColorADay #BlueTue

Mycoparasites are both eerie and beautiful. This is Spinellus fusiger, or Bonnet Mold, overtaking a small Mycena mushroom. Its cap transforms into a radiating crown of spores. #MacroMonday #photography #mushroom #fungi #nature #naturephotography #forestfloor #macro #mycology #MushroomMonday

Happy post-holiday #Stunday with a look back to a few months ago when I was peeping the fall colors along the Lake Michigan shore. 🍁 #photography #michigan #beach #clouds #autumn #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #waves #fallcolors

I don’t always build snowmen, but when I do, I enjoy it more than expected. ⛄ #XtraXmas #snowman #bluesky #photography #nature #mountains #snow #landscape #landscapephotography #winter #holidays

As snow is piling up in the cascades right now, I’m still thinking about those PNW summer hikes and the leftover snow in the valleys. #scape #photography #pnw #landscape #ForestFriday #landscapephotography #glacier #nature #ice #nationalforest

Trading the tinsel for some alpine frost today. Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas from the high country (at least in spirit). 🏔️❄️ #photography #mountains #pnw #christmas #frost #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #clouds #hiking

It's #BlueTue and #CyanTue, so feast your eyes on this geothermal pool at Yellowstone National Park. The surreal nature of this area never ceases to amaze me. #photography #yellowstone #landscape #landscapephotography #geology #nature #naturephotography #wyoming

Mt. Shuksan casually reminding everyone why it ends up on calendars, postcards, and overly ambitious hiking plans. #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #photography #pnw #landscape #landscapephotography #reflection #mountains #bluesky

I’m always a sucker for the textures you find on these shores. This weathered driftwood on the smooth sand is the perfect anchor for a sky this loud. Happy #Solstice #Stunday! #photography #sunset #beach #landscape #landscapephotography #Michigan #nature #naturephotography #clouds

Moody skies and a lighthouse sunset. ⚓️ A perfectly Michigan way to end the day. #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #photography #michigan #sunset #lighthouse #beach #landscape #landscapephotography #goldenhour #nature #clouds
