~Fire & Ice~

My wife & I spent a few days exploring wilderness areas & lakes in Banff National Park. This is Lake Vermillion with Mount Rundle in the background. The hot springs seep into the lake that allow a few pools to remain open even though the rest of the lake is frozen. Each morning we would get up before daylight hoping the light would be good. This was taken on the second morning. When we arrived the sky was cloudless and I was pretty disappointed until I looked behind me and noticed the clouds were moving slowly towards the mountain overhead.

Huge waves crashing at Cape Disappointment on a cold January morning.

This was taken in April after a very wet Spring.

~Awestruck~

This area is a photographer's dream for waterfalls. All three area's. The upper Falls, middle Falls, and the lower Falls are a cornucopia of opportunities. This was taken in the early morning as the mist was slowly disappearing. A magical place!

~Green Dream~

Green Dream- This little waterfall's name I was told is "Goofy," which seems like a strange name for a waterfall. I spent the day with a couple buddy's Scott Allan & Joel Riner exploring the area about an hour from Wallace Idaho. We had some pretty sweet light going on & had lunch afterwards on the North Fork of the St. Joe River. A super fun day!

~Spellbound~

The Ice Age Floods carved the Palouse River canyon and created Palouse Falls and the surrounding canyon. It is the only year round waterfall created by the Ice Age floods that continue to flow today.

~Early Morning Bite~

We were camping at Ollalie Lake near Mt. Adams, and had taken our usual morning walk after breakfast down to the lake. We noticed the mist rising above the lake with the fisherman in his boat. I ran back to camp to retrieve my camera. He was quite a ways away so I used my long zoom and shot quite a few frames. I got lucky with this particular shot as he was about to cast his line.

~Winter's Dream~

This was taken January 10th 2022 on a surreal afternoon. Coeur D Alene being a Resort Town is usually booming with people throughout the year. This afternoon I had this view all to myself.

~Rock Candy~

This was taken in Glacier National Park where McDonald Creek flows into Lake McDonald. You find these pebbles in many of the lakes in Glacier National Park. They vary from red to bloody maroon with greens & blues mixed in. The rocks were formed at different eras when glaciers came they broke the rocks into smaller fragments and the rivers washed them into the lakes. Water erosion rendered them into smooth colorful pebbles.

~The Silent Sentinel~

Cape Disappointment Lighthouse has been guarding Mariners into the mouth of the Columbia River since 1898 when it was first lit.

~Bridger~

Grizzly Wolf discovery center is in West Yellowstone. I seldom take photos of animals except for my dog. This big male’s name is Bridger. He's named after Jim Bridger a American Mountaineer.

~King Neptune's Chamber~

A few days each year with a cloudless sky, the setting sun filters a golden shaft of light that illuminates this 200 foot Sea Tunnel on the Oregon Coast. The pounding surf can be felt with each wave crashing into the cave. After a few minutes the golden light slowly fades away.

~Apocalyptic Sunset~

This is the West end of Tubbs Hill on Lake Coeur D Alene. I finally got lucky as I've missed some dramatic sunsets a couple of weeks ago. This is a 180 second exposure that allows the water to smooth out and smear the clouds across the sky. It's the expression of time taken in a single image.

~Remembrance~

Having been born and raised in Port Angeles I know my way pretty well around the OP. The last time I photographed this lake was 37 years ago. I just never made it back. This is a 120 second exposure that smoothes the lake as well as the clouds. The camera records movement that we can't see with our eyes.

~Snow White And Me~

A fresh blanket of snow covers everything on a cold five degree morning.
