I'm a landscape/wildlife/nature photographer living in the Pacific Northwest. If it's outdoors, in the woods, in the mountains, or on the coast ... I'll probably photograph it!

Although most of the mushrooms have turned to mush with our winter weather here in Oregon, I still occasionally find a few. I found these two huddled against the cold yesterday, with ice crystals on their caps.

An immature eagle tries to crowd onto a branch already occupied by one of its elders, resulting in lots of flapping and screaming.

On a foggy day last week, all the cobwebs on logs and plants were covered with tiny water droplets. This is a stacked photo of a cobweb on the side of a decaying log.

Any mention of #FavoriteThings would have to include my best buddy, Casey. He's a 14-year old rescue dog, who has been living his best life with us for the past 12 years.
Best.Boy.Ever.

Sometimes, when standing on the headlands overlooking the Pacific, the sky and the water almost blend together.

A group of bird's nest fungi attached to a small twig. The "eggs" inside the nest contain the spores, and rely on raindrops to splash them out of the nest.
