This is the Octopus Tree located at Cape Meares in Oregon. It's a Sitka Spruce without a central trunk with huge limbs extending from the base. It's 105 feet tall and estimated to be 250 - 300 years old. It's worth seeing if you're in the area!

Cloudy Bluesky at Netarts Bay, Oregon.

Today's walk. Icicles at the mouth of a newly formed creek, emptying into the Sandy River.

Tonight’s sunset

Wahkeena Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Stop for lunch at Brigham Fish Market in Cascade Locks. 😋

Today's walk. This is in a cute little park just a couple minutes from our house.

Today's frosty walk. We had some recent flooding in our area after a couple of atmospheric river events. The grassy blobs in the branches show how high the river got there.

3 years ago today. She chased her first crush all around the beach.

Today's walk. We finally have some snow on the nearby hills. It's been a pretty warm winter season so far in the PNW.

Well Christmas has come and gone and it's safe to say she enjoyed her Christmas very much.

Today's Christmas walk. There is a very small bluesky "eye" on the left hand side. Good to see a bit of blue sky. Hope everyone is having a very wonderful Christmas today.

Got through our second atmospheric river system and 2 long power outages. Remembering the better weather we had when we were recently in Yachats. Here's a pic from the second night with the sun just starting to set with a sundog to the right.

We lucked out between atmospheric river storms and had great weather on the Oregon coast. This is the mouth of the Yachats river and a sunset pic from our first night there.

Thought this translucent frosty leaf was pretty.

Today's atmospheric river walk.

One more Netarts Bay sunset pic from 2024.

Today's walk. Huge amanita mushroom!

Today's walk Part 2. Random things I find in the woods - someone put together this really nice lean to. On a clear day it has a really great view of Mt Hood.

Today's walk Part 1. Mt Hood peaking out from the left side of the pic.

Today's walk. Mushrooms galore!

Today's walk. Blue skies and larches.

Honolulu sunrise 11/4/2025. I'm not a city person but there's beauty to be found there too.

Clear blue skies, beautiful mountains and a crystal clear creek. Perfect for a floofy butt swim.

Last Yellowstone pic. This was taken at Old Faithful. It's not a trip to Yellowstone without a stupid human pic.

Roaring Mountain, West Yellowstone. Godda say, this was pretty freaky.

Approaching Mammoth Hot Springs from the east.

For #Stunday as well as #ColorADay and #OrangeSun. I think it fits both. This is a long exposure image made on one of the most spectacular sunrises I've ever seen at this beach. I have a series of images from barely orange to after #sunrise. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #beach #longexposure

Lamar Valley - my favorite area in Yellowstone.

Lamar Valley. It snowed when we were at Yellowstone. So magical.

Amanita mushrooms and leaves on a forest floor.

Today's walk at Lost Creek.

This is downriver from the last pic I posted - this was taken east of Cooke City, Montana.

Someplace east of Cooke City, Montana. We just stumbled upon this place. I hope to find it again the next time I'm back in the area.

I thought this was kinda dramatic looking. Taken near the overlook at the Brink of Lower Falls.

First day in Yellowstone and we had not one, but two bull bison just randomly cross the road right in front of us about an hour apart from each other. These bulls go where they want, when they want.

Back from a 2 week road trip ping ponging between Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. This is Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park.
