This page is different from other platforms I am on. Here, I am visually telling stories through my #nature #photography. I hope this creates an emotional connection with you all and prompts you to reflect on your own relationship with the #environment and world. #zenmoment #macro #getoutside #hike

First hike of 2026 along the mighty Columbia River. The Wabi-Sabi "art of impermanence" aesthetic at work...by looking at it, things are not always as they seem...abstract nature. Lean in to the subject...muted colors of winter.

Always look down and up and keep going forward!...it was a mucky, muddy, drippy hiking day, scrambling over downed maple and Douglas fir trees and searching for fungi ... perfectly perfect. Embrace the mess!

From yesterday's hike in my happy place...micro worlds under the tall #trees, and late #autumn shades of amber and brown.
This #Zen moment is brought to you by " #Nature- it's food for the #soul". Free to explore yourself, wherever there's a #trail to be found...🙏

Yesterday's #forest foray. The Christmas #ferns were bright green. Maple leaves fell two weeks ago, gentling carpeting the ground. Recent rains set the stage for winters rest. The pond was still, Canada geese flew south in formation. All was quiet save my footsteps.

The vibe of the mighty Columbia. The #river flow is dynamic; whatever it leaves in its path changes day by day. The basic elements of #nature like old driftwood, fallen Cottonwood #leaves, tranquil backwater where herons and ducks reside ...very restorative.

The fresh scent of leaves, laid down below my feet, #autumn in arrested decay, food for spring. The now spooky #woodlands are going to sleep, but there's always new life starting to emerge to seed the spring ahead. Theres a vibe...a pivot to a slower time in the #forest today.

If there ever was a day for a #forest hike, this was it. Perfect #weather, light #fog, #sunbeams piercing the wet and #fungi filled forest floor, southbound Canadian geese flying overhead, and the most incredible peak #fall colors the eyes can witness. Warms the soul. #ecology #environment #pnw

4 hours. 4 miles of slow hiking, capturing the smells and scents of a post rain #PNW #hike through two wet forests. While the #autumn colors were abundant, the real #nature stars yesterday were all the #fungi popping up alongside the trails. A clear sign of #forest health...and my own as well.

In the simplest of terms, autumns theme of change often boils down to one fallen leaf, and the beauty of a morning rain upon it.

Fall is slowly taking hold, as I noticed on Wednesday afternoon, seeking out some quiet time in my happy place. Rains and cooler nights ahead will jump start fall colors. Practicing "photographer patience" here😬
