I've gotten my order of stands and acrylic bases in, so I might start posting about my rock collection once it's all cleaned up and presentable

Also, photography posts will slow for a little while I wait for my Instagram posts to catch up with this account :P

For all the rockhounds and rock collectors out there, here's the latest addition to my collection: Crocoite from the Red Lead Mine in Tasmania.

I used to live in an apartment complex that had a large patch of various wildflowers that would bloom every spring. This one, among many other photos taken during the spring of 2020, is my favorite by far. #photography #naturephotography #depthoffield #landscapephotography #flowers

Welcome to the new year, everyone. Here's a photo from Black Chasm Caverns, featuring a back-lit drapery of flowstone stalactites deep within the main chamber. Easily one of my favorite shots I've ever taken. #photography #naturephotography #landscapephotography #caves #rockhound

A photo from a few years ago, one that I enjoy mainly for the combination of colors present. #photography #naturephotography #depthoffield #flowers #plants

Natural Decay A series of leaves backlit by the sunlight coming through the branches. 📸 Yosemite National Park, November 2020 #photography #naturephotography #depthoffield #thegreatoutdoors #leaves

Also, I survived #Whamageddon only for it to be the first song I heard today, go figure

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone ☃️🎄 📸 Mt. Ranier in 2021, taken by my aunt lol #happyholidays #photography #mtranier

Rhodofomes Cajanderi For all the mushroom loving folks, here's a pic from Olympic National Forest of some Rosy Conk (that's what I was told it was, I am not a mycologist lol) growing out of the bottom of a fallen log along one of the walking trails. #mushroom #photography #naturephotography

Rolling Hills, taken near Lake Del Valle in California a few years back #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #rollinghills

Remnants An old decaying fence sits askew on the shoreline near Pescadero, California. Taken back in early 2020. #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #california

Tranquil This pond was the result of some large storms we had rolling through back in 2018. This is one of the first photos I took when I started learning photography in college, and it has remained one of my favorites ever since. #naturephotography #landscapephotography #landscapes

A Yellow Rumped Warbler, spring of 2020. I was very lucky to have access to a public trail near where I lived in 2020, as I was able to photograph this friend in the trees above me. #photography #naturephotography #birds

Higher Tides Here's a not-so-long exposure (1/2 sec) shot from the north shore of Oahu, back from October of 2022. Easily my favorite "in motion" shot so far. #photography #naturephotography #longexposure #waves #Hawaii

Fall Returns As we move closer towards December, here's a photo from last fall that captures the wonder of leaves changing color. #photography #naturephotography #depthoffield #autumn #leaves

Merriman Falls - Olympic National Forest, Washington. This photo was one of many that came out of my roughly week long trip up to Washington back in 2022. This waterfall remains one of my favorite moments. #waterfall #naturephotography #longexposure #washington (Re-upload because of watermark)

I was a bit skeptical about watermarking my photos, but I've seen a couple different accounts reposting other people's works without credit so it's definitely warranted. A fair warning to other photographers/artists posting on here #photography #art #artists

Slowly working on getting prints available, first few tests look really promising. #photography #naturephotography
