Even More Boulder River
My wife and I enjoyed the Boulder River Trail so much last weekend, that we decided to hiked it with friends again this weekend.
Boulder River Waterfalls
The Boulder River Trail is a spring classic in my book. When the high country is packed with snow and I want a quick spring photo trip on a cloudy day, it’s the Boulder River that I turn to for its waterfalls, mossy boulders, canyon walls, old-growth forest and wildflowers. This natural beauty is protected [...]
“Autumn Leaves in Duck Brook” Featured by PrintedArt
The curators at PrintedArt.com have kicked off 2013 with a blog post on the moods of water, featuring my image “Autumn Leaves in Duck Brook.” I discovered this little stream-side scene while biking the carriage roads on a fall morning in Maine’s Acadia National Park. To me, the image is about the passage of time flowing [...]
Mount Rainier Showing It’s Autumn Colors
Mount Rainier was displaying it’s fall color this last weekend, as seen in this image from near Chinook Pass. Here are a few more images with Tipsoo Lake.
Glacier Peak – Washington Cascade Mountains
While the original 4-day plan was to backpack to Buck Creek Pass, climb Buck Mountain and then traverse the Massie Lake High Route, I had to settle for just Buck Creek Pass due to boot problems. The sole of my left boot came off 10 miles from the trailhead, making extensive off-trail travel and scrambling [...]
Peak Wildflower Bloom at Mount Rainier National Park
August 27, 2012 A heavy snow pack and beautiful summer weather have conspired to produce a stellar wildflower bloom in the subalpine meadows of Mount Rainier National Park. I found the meadows in peak bloom this weekend in the Paradise and Mazama Ridge areas, with lupine, paintbrush, bistort, aster, arnica, sitka valerian and more all [...]

Southeast Alaska Day 15 – Wildlife of Glacier Bay
July 13, 2012 Today we toured Glacier Bay on the catamaran operated by Glacier Bay Lodge & Tours. Though it was cold and drippy, and Friday the thirteenth, luck was with us from a wildlife point of view. The tour ran all the way up Glacier Bay to the head of Tarr Inlet, where the [...]
Southeast Alaska Day 9 – Anan Creek Bears
July 7, 2012 It rained nearly the whole day, but I hardly noticed. We were surrounded by bears, both black and brown, and somehow rain just wasn’t relevant. Breakaway Adventures packed 12 of us into their landing craft style boat The Motivator for the one hour trip around the east side of Wrangell Island to [...]
Dawn Over Mount Index
Star trails over snowy Mount Index, Washington Cascade Mountains It’s 5:00am and pitch black when I leave the trailhead for Heybrook Lookout Trail. A screech owl is yammering away as I leave the car and begin the ascent into the creepy darkness. 30 minutes and 1.3 miles later, I’ve climbed 850 feet and arrive at [...]
Boulder River
An unnamed waterfall plunges into the Boulder River, Boulder River Wilderness, Washington State I’ve been catching up on my photo processing, working through a few unprocessed photo shoots from last year. Here is a selection of photos from a June hike up the Boulder River Trail, in Washington State’s central Cascade Mountains.The Boulder River cuts [...]
Virginia’s Cascades Falls
Little Stony Creek pouring over boulders, Cascade Falls, Virginia February 2, 2012 What a wonderful winter walk. This short (4 miles round trip) trail runs right along the banks of crystal clear Little Stony Creek, pouring through mossy boulders, shooting through rocky chutes and plummeting over beautiful 69 foot Cascade Falls. I can see why [...]
Autumn on the Stillaguamish River
South Fork Stillaguamish River, Cascade Mountains, Washington State As winter arrives to the Cascade Mountains, I did some shooting in the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River valley this weekend. This river, just 20 miles from my home, drains the southern half of the scenic Mountain Loop Highway, an area in Washington’s Central Cascades popular [...]
