I have always loved this photo, but never shared before becuase the Pelican is a bit #blurry. But that makes it perfect for today’s alternative theme for #BirdOfTheDay ! This was taken in Malibu, CA.

This photo is a slow shutter capture of a pelican in flight. The bottom third of the frame is light blue water, and the top two thirds is light gray, misty sky. The Pelican is center of the frame in the foreground, with its wings stretched up high.

Happy #BlueSkyMonday and #PinkMon! Wishing you all a peaceful week! I’m headed back to Joshua Tree this week, to speak as the featured athlete at a climbing festival. It’s my first time public speaking! Eek! Wish me luck!

This photo was taken at sunset in Joshua Tree National Park. The sky is dark blue with diagonal streaks of pink clouds. In the foreground, a large Joshua Tree is depicted in silhouette, rising out of a rocky ridge line. All of the pink clouds steak diagonally towards the tree, leading the viewers gaze directly to it.

Happy #forestfriday from Independence Pass! Fall colors and hints of winter. 😍 Hope you are all taking some time to enjoy these beautiful fall days.

This photo depicts a sloping mountainside with distinct layers of trees. In the foreground are a few yellow aspens, followed by a swath of green pine trees and underbrush. Further up the slope are more aspens, behind which are a large grove of pines coated with a dusting of snow. Above the ridegline, gray fog obscures the sky and drifts over the trees.

My first ever #BirdOfTheDay entry! I had to share this beautiful bald eagle for the theme of #TakeOffs. This was taken in Homer, Alaska, where there were dozens of eagles all over the beach! Magical!
.
#birds #wildlifephotography
This photo is a close up of a bald eagle on take off. It is facing the right side of the frame, with its wings stretched above its body and it’s feet directly beneath it. The eagle is flying only a few inches above a dark, pebbled beach. Behind it, the ocean is frothy and white, and snowy mountains rise up in the distance.

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃🐯Hope you’re getting up to something fun! Self portrait climbing as Tigger in Red Rock, NV.

#31DaysOfHalloween #WeekRforRock #Halloween #rockclimbing #AlphabetChallenge #Scape
This photo is taken from a low angle at the base of two red sandstone cliff faces. There is light shining between the cliffs, making the rock appear to glow. On the right cliff, a rock climber dressed in a tiger suit ascends the cliff. She is holding on with her right hand, has her left foot straight down on a ledge, and her right foot extended to the side. Her left hand and two hair braids dangle off to the side as she looks above for her next hold.

#YellowThu from Colorado! Absolutely love these fall colors!

#ColorADay #EastCoastKin
A copse of yellow aspen trees blows in the wind in front of a dark mountain range and blue sky. The trees take up nearly the entire frame, with the mountains visible behind them.

Happy #stunday! Here’s another one from Independance Pass, CO last week. Though we saw some nice fall colors at lower elevation, winter had already arrived on the upper summits!

Today’s pic fits all the prompts! #twosday #rockintuesday #bluetue #tidesouttuesday from Haystack Rock in Oregon. Loved this hazy scene of a father and son riding on the beach!
.
#coloraday #eastcoastkin #pnw #landscapephotography
This photo depicts the famous Haystack Rock on the Oregon coast. A large black rock rises out of the ocean, surrounded by smaller, pointed rocks. There is a haze on the water making it look dreamy and slightly blurred. In the foreground, a father and son bicycle across the sand. The tide is out and the beach is shiny with water.

For #mountainmonday, driving through Independence Pass, CO yesterday. Such a beautiful drive and we were treated to some nice fall colors!

#eastcoastkin #mountainscape #autumnlandscape #31daysofHalloween
This photo depicts a mountain pass in Colorado. A field of yellow, orange, and green bushes stretches backwards to green rolling hills, and blue mountains in the distance. The light is soft and hazy, giving the photo a dreamlike, “autumny” feel.

Happy #scape day! Here’s an autumn sunset in the Mojave desert. Part of my “Shots Out The Car Window” series. Taken on 10/8/25, while headed out to a favorite campsite.

An #OrangeSun sunset from Juan, Switzerland. 😍 This was taken near the Chalet Du Soldat, which is a mountain hut that can be accessed via a chairlift and a hike to the summit. Such a beautiful area!

Westward bound! Driving out to CA today, so here’s a shot from one of my favorite drives out west, Mount Blue Sky in Colorado. This is the highest paved drive in the continental US, reaching 14,266 feet!

Happy #scape day! Here’s a dramatic foggy day in the Austrian mountains near Innsbruck! Definitely one of my favorite areas to visit! And this photo felt perfect for October!

That moment your long exposure goes awry and you capture the rampaging #ghost in the sky! Some fun, #wackyWednesdayArt to start your #Spooktober ! These shots were taken in Bryce Canyon National Park.
.
#31DaysOfHalloween #EastCoastKin #WeekNforNights #alphabetchallenge #nightsky #stars #milkyway
This photo was an attempt at a long exposure shot of the stars and Milky Way galaxy. The camera was knocked over mid shot so the sky is a blur that resembles a pale ghostly monster running through the sky. This photo depicts the Milky Way galaxy floating above hoodoo rock formations in Bryce Canyon National Park. The rock formations start at the lower left of the frame and rise diagonally towards the top right. The Milky Way is centered in the frame and has an orange and purple glow.

Happy #BlueSkyMonday with just a dash of #PinkMon in the clouds! Here’s a shot from the Arch Rock area of Joshua Tree! One of my favorite locations in the park, as you can scramble around the rock formations and canyons for hours!

#ColorADay #BlueSkyArtShow #JoshuaTree #LandscapePhotography
This photo depicts a rock formation of rounded boulders in the near distance. The photo is framed through a hole in another rock. It is nearing sunset and the sky is a light blue with a few pink clouds around the edges of the rocks.

Happy weekend everybody! Here’s another one from Oregon, the Tioga Bridge, in the Umpqua National Forest. I love the #angles of this bridge! I have such admiration for bridge architects and their beautiful designs!
.
#ColorADay #GreenSat #BlueSkyArtShow #bridgephotographhy #NationalForests
This photo depicts a beautiful bridge of reddish colored wood, leading into a dark green pine forest. The bridge has an arch across the top, made of triangular sections. It has recently rained, and the bridge is wet. A reflection of the arch is visible in the water on the walkway of the bridge.

Landing gear down! The silhouette of a Great Blue Heron coming in for a landing in Marina Del Rey, CA. This was taken at sunset from my sailboat. I love observing these graceful birds!

This photo was depicts a lake shore at sunset. There is a long sandbar in the lake, across the center of the frame, where a man and dog are walking. On the right side of the frame is the edge of the beach, glowing golden in the last light. In the distance is a peninsula of silhouetted trees. The sun is just dropping behind the trees, throwing out golden rays of light. The sky above is blue with fluffy white clouds.

Vermont views for #GreenSat! I really enjoyed exploring this area of the country, from the gorgeous rolling hills, to the quaint architecture and endless maple treats! A beautiful state! 🍁

This image is a very wide shot. It depicts a vibrant green field, with a red barn in the distance. The barn is nestled at the base of dark green rolling hills. The sky above the hills is blue, with threatening gray clouds forming.

Today feels very heavy. I hope you are all doing okay and taking care of yourselves. ❤️ I didn’t feel much like posting, but thought it couldn’t hurt to put some love out into the world.
A black and white photo depicting two people’s hands forming the shape of a heart in the center of the frame. The background is blurry, but it depicts a forest floor with a large boulder in the near distance.

A climbing self portrait for #rockintuesday! This boulder represents a style of climbing called Offwidth, where you jam your hands/feet/etc. into cracks in order to ascend the boulder! It is a unique, fun, and often painful style! Haha.
.
#rockclimbing #artofselfportraiture #bluetue #ColorADay
This photo depicts the back of a rock climber, while she ascends a boulder with a wide diagonal crack in it. The crack runs from the top left of the frame to the bottom right. The climber is in the center of the frame. Her feet and left hand are jammed into the crack above her head, while her right hand is hovering in the air. She wears blue pants and a green sports bra. Her hair is down and flowing.
