'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.

Here is a photo dump of some things Ive shot during this fall and late summer. Lots of fog, lots of mist, and lots of mountains!

While photographing on the La Push beach a crow came up close to me and I got some super detailed shots. #crow #birdphotography

'Season's Peak' [ 1/400 ● f8 ● ISO 250 ● 24mm ] 📍Mount Rainier, Washington 📷 Nikon Z8 📆 08.13.2025 #landscapephotography

The coast was SOOO windy today and yesterday. I came to check out the beach since we are in King Tide season and I went wave hunting. This was at Cape Kiwanda, WA.

Misty days hiking on Mount Rainier. 🌫⛰️

Close up with a Great Blue Heron! While I was photographing it was absolutely feasting on fish. I must have watched it catch and eat two dozen fish at least within 10 minutes! #heron #blueheron #birding

I love watching the clouds over Rainier. Here's a little more experimentation with video and timelapses. This was taken a little while back in the summer just as I was leaving the national park. #rainier #timelapse #nationalpark

Happy Halloween! Here is a photo I took during my visit to Ruby Beach last week. The tide and waves were the highest I've ever seen at this spot and were large enough waves to be seriously dangerous. Howling winds, crashing waves, eerie sea stacks. I'd say thats pretty spooky!

Cape Flattery never ceases to amaze. Its hard to believe its real honestly. #capeflattery #neahbay #pnw #seascape #landscapephotography #landscape

I spent a quiet morning late August at a local pond filming ducks as they swam, preened their feathers, and relaxed as the day began. Full video: youtu.be/I0GoRBGAixM?... #duck #woodduck #mallard #birding
