This morning I saw an adorable group of deer perched up on a grass mound in this residential area!

My first ever shots of a wild black bear!! I didn't have time to get my camera out before he/she ran off so I had to settle for phone shots. Thankfully phone cameras are pretty good these days.

My first few Secrets of Strixhaven pulls! Absolutely love the set so far. Had an excellent prerelease. #strixhaven #mtg #secretsofstrixhaven

'Her Majesty' [ 1/640s ● f9 ● ISO 100 ● 38mm ] 📍 Mt Rainier National Park 📅 02.05.2026 Here's a shot I took back in February this year. I haven't visited the mountain since yet so I'm not sure if there's still this much snow. Rest assured, the raven flying around was a paid actor 😆.

Who could resist a good frosted mossy tree? 😍 'Green Blanket' [ 1/200s ● f4.5 ● ISO 3200 ● 40mm ] 📍 Mt Rainier, Washington 📅 03.25.2026 #mossy #forest #mossyforest #pnw #landscapephotography

As a wildlife photographer, sometimes you gotta cull thousands of shots of bird poop caught in 8K high resolution 😆

'Early Calls' [ 1/1600s ● f6.3 ● ISO 6400 ● 600mm ] 🐦 Red-wing Blackbird 📍 Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, WA 📅 03.28.2026 #birding #birdphotography #blackbird

Waiting and watching for the sun to do its thing. #landscape #photographer #landscapephotography #mountains #naturephotography

'Early Foraging' [ 1/2000s ● f7.1 ● ISO 900 ● 520mm ] 🐦 Spotted Towhee Sparrow 📍 Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, WA

'Patina' [ 1/500s ● f6.3 ● ISO 4500 ● 500mm ] While this beetle has certainly seen better days, I couldn't help but get excited with the insane amount of moss covering every surface.

Sunset near Coulee City, Washington

'Blade' [ 1/320s ● f4 ● ISO 320 ● 35mm ] 📍 Palouse Falls, WA #blackandwhitephotography #waterfall #landscapephotography

Cloudy day at Palouse Falls, WA. I loved how the mist from the falls was floating up creating some great atmosphere. #waterfalls

'Fatewalking' [ 1/10s ● f20 ● ISO 64 ● 28mm ] 📍 Christine Falls, WA 📆 02.05.2026 #waterfall #landscapephotography

Some very impressive cascade mountain peaks

I spotted fresh bear tracks at Lake Serene this January 👌

Hiking up the very icy trail to Lake Serene! I didnt expect as much ice as there was so I stupidly left my shoe spikes in the car...

Foggy days in the mountains.

She really speaks for herself. This was taken from my favorite Mt. Rainier viewpoint earlier this month.

Took a ferry to work. ⛴️🌲⛰️

Cleansing your timeline with ducks! 📍 McLane Creek Nature Trail, WA

'Journey to Rimrock' [ 1/800s ● f8 ● ISO 220 ● 90mm ] 📍 Rimrock Lake, WA

Got stuck today photo hunting but the recovery boards got me out 👌

During my last photoshoot of 2025, I caught a juvenile Bald Eagle as it took off from its perch. #baldeagle #eagle #birding #birdphotography

Captured this at the end of the day as I was heading back to the car. Deer may not be the most exotic animal to photograph but I always find them cute to watch and graze during dawn and dusk.

'Stay Alert' [ 1/1600s ● f6.3 ● ISO 1100 ● 600mm ] 🐦 Golden-Crowned Sparrow 📍 Nisqually Wildlife Refuge 📆 12.09.2025 #birding #sparrow #birdphotography #goldencrownedsparrow #birdingphotography

'Mossy Mess' [ 1/125s ● f5.6 ● ISO 2000 ● 87mm ] 📍 Deschutes Falls Park, WA I couldnt have chosen a rainier day but I decided to go out and photograph anyway! I love these trees that are overhanging the cliff where the falls flow beneath at this park. #moss #mossyforest

Hoo boy. 🌧😵‍💫

Some shots of the sunset a few days ago on Ocean Shores, Washington. The clouds absolutely exploded with color after the sun went down. #beach #sunset #washingtonstate #pnw

Oh? A winter storm is hitting Rainier this weekend? I know where I'm going to photograph soon 😁

'Big Yawn' Earlier this month I captured a group of Harbor Seals sleeping on some rocks that were just barely covered by the tide near Dune Peninsula, Washington. Seals are one of my favorite animals so I'm glad to have finally gotten some cool shots of them.

'Driven To Familiarity' [ 1/160s ● f11 ● ISO 200 ● 12mm ] 📍 Lake Crescent, Washington 📆 10.26.2025 #landscapephotography

A curious little chipmunk exploring the boulders and rocks on the mountaintops of Mt Rainier National Park.

Catching some sun rays in the forest early in the morning.

Dont forget to look up.

TONS of mushrooms out this fall. Maybe I should invest in a macro lens... hm.

A return to the gorgeous Sol Duc Falls.

'Swoop' [ 1/3200s ● f8 ● ISO 400 ● 600mm ] 📍 Cape Flattery, Washington 🦅 Bald Eagle 📷 Nikon Z8, 180-600mm Got this photo just as the eagle was returning from an unsuccessful flight looking for fish in the ocean waves below. It was using this huge seastack as a landing spot to take breaks.

Chasing waves at the Devil's Punchbowl in Oregon.
