Oregon has had an impressive amount of rain this June, receiving 80% of the normal rainfall for the entire month within the first 4 days. This created some excellent late spring waterfall conditions. This image was taken deep in the gorge the day after some really heavy rain. It’s not an easily accessible location when the water …

We recently had a nice cold spell that dumped about 6-8 inches of fresh snow in the Columbia River Gorge. When this happens, it doesn’t stick around for too long, so you really have to get out there quickly.

We have had some rather unusual, and really cold weather this last week. Normally we get snow, sleet, and freezing rain all at about the same time. This makes it really hard to get around in a vehicle, and renders some locations completely out of the questions. This last week we had sub-freezing temps for …

Fall is my second favorite season with winter taking an easy first. I love rain and snow, and I’m fortunate enough to live in one of the best places on the planet. The shot above is from Woodland Washington’s “Cedar Creek Grist Mill”.

Decided to take a quick trip out to Cape Kiwanda for a sunrise. I have only been out there one other time, and it’s really an awesome spot. On this morning, the tide was pretty low, and there really was zero wave activity. I much prefer to shoot the ocean with waves crashing around and …

After a week in Glacier National Park, it was off to the Canadian Rockies with the first stop in Banff. I spent a few days there, and then went up to Jasper. These places are really amazing. It’s just miles and miles of glacial peaks. The fall color hit really late this year, and it …

I just returned from a 2 week trip to Glacier National Park, and the Canadian Rockies. The conditions weren’t the best for photographs, but it was a great trip none the less. I’m learning more and more these days, that you just don’t get the amazing light all the time, and that’s ok; it’s fun …

Took a short trip down to Redwood National Park in Northern California. It was my first time here, and I was fortunate enough to get some really nice foggy conditions in the Redwoods. The freshly bloomed Rhodies along with the fog really made for some amazing photographic opportunities. This particular image was my favorite from …

Took a trip to Yosemite at the end of winter 2009. We had to stick around for a couple of days before we were greeted with almost a foot of fresh snow.
