Gold Beach,
Southern Oregon Coast
This is a very basic and simple black and white photograph of water flowing back into the ocean-- with a rock sitting fairly near the shoreline. The light is breaking through the clouds.

Image of a young girl standing at the edge of a mirrored lake, reflecting the brilliant blue sky and treeline from the opposite bank of the lake. She is framed by large pine trees on either side.

A few oil painting close-ups from The Axolotl Parade 🌿
Photos never quite do a painting justice, so I hope these short videos help give a better feel for the textures and details.

The aurora last night in Fairbanks!

Look at what Maia got last night with some of our guests! This was the first tour that ran this season (first couple in mid-August were canceled due to clouds), but wow did the aurora deliver!

Chasing Summer. Seattle, WA, August 2025.

#summer #seattle #pnw #beach #pugetsound #pacific #sunshine #family #dadlife
Image of a young girl walking out toward a beach on the Puget Sound from beneath a railroad underpass. The underpass is riddled with colorful graffiti, and the sunshine is perfectly framing the girl and beach in a triangle of light. The Puget Sound is a deep blue, and the Olympic Mountains can be seen lining the horizon across the water. An image of two decaying dock foundational pillars jutting upward out of the beach on Puget Sound. They are covered in barnacles and other sea life. Barnacle covered rocks surround the pillars, and waves crash against them forming whitewater, which contrasts the deep blue of the sound. The Olympic mountains can be seen across the water lining the horizon. A young girl sits on a makeshift swing made of driftwood and found rope. The swing is on the beach of the Puget Sound. The girl is shadowed by the tree above her and is cast in silhouette against the bright blue water of the sound and rocks and sand of the beach. It’s a beautiful Summer day.

Devil’s Punchbowl, Oregon. August 2025.

#oregon #travel #coast #seascape #nature #pnw #pacific #northwest
A photo of Oregon’s Devil’s Punchbowl rock formation. The rocks span the length of the photo, with the expansive Pacific Ocean stretching out to the horizon behind the bowl. A small hole can be seen toward the bottom right of the bowl, and white coastal water is crashing through the hole onto the rocks at the bottom of the bowl.

Cape Kiwanda, Oregon. August 2025.

#travel #oregon #pacific #coast #pch #pnw #photography #pnw #northwest
View from atop of the dune overlooking Cape Kiwanda. The sea has carved out a bowl, which is colors of blue and green and white where the water hits the rocks. Surrounding the bowl are jagged sandstone cliffs in all colors of yellow, orange, and brown. Behind the cliffs, large white tipped waves can be seen making their way to shore. A marine layer of fog sits between the turquoise waves and the bright blue sky.

A shot taken at the top of a dune in Cape Kiwanda, looking down the steep incline onto the seascape below. A downed snag lines the steep dune, behind which you can see the waves crashing on the faraway beach below. Tiny specks of people line the beach, but are mostly obscured by marine fog.

Hug Point, Oregon. August 2025.

#hugpoint #stateparks #oregon #pacific #coast #pch #travel #pnw
Photo at a viewpoint on the Pacific Coast Highway, just outside of Hug Point State Park, overlooking Manzanita. The picture as taken from high up on a ridge, and the blue water turns to white where it meets the rocky outcroppings and sandy shores of Manzanita. There’s a thick marine fog coming off the sea, which separates the water from the bright blue sky. An image of craggly eroded rocks shooting skyward like a shark’s tooth. Behind the rock is a sea blown forested rock side. The trees are warped from the high winds. There’s bright blue sky behind the rocks. An image of bright purple asters, with a bright green backdrop. A sleepy creek cutting toward Hug Point State Park beach. There’s a fallen snag draping over the creek. Various hedges and shrubbery are scattered around the hillside in different shades of green. The sky is bright blue and vibrant.

Astoria, Oregon. August, 2025.

#travel #astoria #oregon #photography #pacific #pnw #northwest
An image of a derelict cannery set above the estuary of the Columbia River. The photo is taken from the planks leading out to the abandoned cannery, which are worn and in poor condition. The sun is shining and the water is bright blue. A photo of the Columbia River estuary. The Astoria-Megler bridge can be seen in the distance, along with various watercraft. A tree lines the river which is backlit by a bright Summer sun. A very large Sea Lion gazing upward from a worn dock. He’s staring at the camera dubiously as if it’s disappointed him in some way. He appears to be a very good boy. An image of a steamboat on the Columbia River estuary. The sun is setting behind the boat, and much of the water appears glassy. The boat is backlit and starkly contrasts the silver water of the estuary. The sky is a brilliant yellow and orange where the sun is peaking behind the mountains, fading into all shades of blue.

Before the icebergs wash up on the beach at Jökulsárlón they travel from the glacier's edge across the big lake. Sometimes the lake is crammed with the most beautiful icebergs.

#Iceland, Oct 2023
Close-up of part of a large turquoise iceberg. Zoomed in view of some icebergs in a lagoon. There is a small pale turquoise piece at the bottom and some crinkly patterns of a larger deeper turquoise one behind.

he's back
4 panel comic P1: a dissheleveled looking Bart Simpson stands in a darkened bedroom. Kneeling on the floor in front of him is Milhouse, wearing a set of red pyjamas. The latter holds a music cassette in his left hand. Milhouse, looking up at Bart, says "--but look... I got some cool Ska--" P2: a closeup of the cassette cover, being held up by Milhouse, cradled lovingly in both hands. He says "--ALF Ska. Remember Alllllf?" On it, we see '80s heartthrob, Alf Shumway. He is wearing star shades, and playing a guitar. The album title is "The Shumway Shuffle" P3: Bart looks on in utter silence, as Milhouse excitedly continues: "He's back! In SKA form!" P4: a closeup of Bart, looking utterly demonic, as he says "U sold mi soul... 4 ska"

Colossal’s bungled wolf announcement isn’t a conservation win. It’s a sad reminder of how the offensively rich want to foist their vision of the future on everyone. My latest for @slate.com
Those Dire Wolves Aren’t an Amazing Scientific Breakthrough. They’re a Disturbing Symbol of Where We’re Heading.
We shouldn’t be celebrating “de-extinction.” We should be focused on the species that are currently in danger.

Happy Spring.

#seattle #nature #pacificnw #pnw #photography #naturephotography
An image of a large cedar tree towering above the viewer, with partly cloudy blue skies as the backdrop. The sun is shining by through parts of the tree in refracted beams. A few flowering pushes line the bottom of the image in pink and yellow. It looks like Spring!
