It felt like spring today! I just realized that daffodils aren't that far away and this makes me very happy! 😃

Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona. Sunset light to my back, rain showers overhead, thunder and lightning to my left....Oh my 🥰

Here's one for the aviation folks that keep me informed, entertained, and fully interested in everything to do with commercial & military aircraft & operations. Thank you! And hey, everyone needs a little queen of the skies. (weird crop on this shot)

*Island Time*

I can't think of a better way to decompress than watching a sunset in the San Juan Islands. Taken at Lime Kiln Lighthouse on San Juan Island, Washington.

Perfect! It's a bit dark as I scroll by though. Here's one that a little brighter. (I'm at work and don't have any software on this PC but the photo app, sorry!)

Looking up and over at the Rainbow Glacier on the east side of Mt. Baker.

Haceta Head Lighthouse

I rarely get conditions that lend themselves to dramatic photos and have to take what I can get. Once and a while the elements come together and cooperate.

You'll miss this if you're driving too fast! On the way to #artistpoint & #mtbakerskiarea It's buried in snow in the winter and runs dry in the summer, but during the spring melt it's perfect! Heather Meadows Falls.

Sunset in the Cascades. This taken from Little Tipsoo Lake looking towards Mt. Rainier, or Tahoma if you prefer 😉 #magical #photography #landscapephotography #mtrainier #cascades #nikon #D850 #washingtonstate #tahoma #rainier

From the experimental and fun file. Photoshop, Skylum and Topaz products used. Cape Disappointment after dark.

Going through my archives on this lazy, rainy day. From 2016 at Paine Feild...LATAM 787-9 with the RAT deployed.

Not too long ago I would drive 8 hours total just to get a shot like this. Nowadays there better be a decent hotel somewhere close! 😆
Highland Schoolhouse 1905-1949. Not sure if it's still there. This was taken in 2017. Douglas County off highway 2.

You'll find that Photoshop is a beast! Open it up and play with it! Click on the spot healing brush (band-aid over a circle) and brush across the light trails. There are other ways to do it, but this usually gets smaller issues perfect the first time. Make a copy layer so you're non-destructive.

*My favorite mountain* 😍
Mt. Shuksan, North Cascades National Park.
This view is from just before the end of state route 522 at the Mt. Baker Ski Area, looking across Picture Lake.

*Well Exposed*

If you happen to be on top of Steptoe Butte in the Palouse region of southeastern Washington, it's likely you've grabbed your long glass and set up this comp.😊 The geology of this state is so diverse and interesting!

I don't have many artsy static captures, but I can't skip this favorite 📸 🥰

My most favorite of Cascade mountains, Mt. Shuksan. She sits in Whatcom County, only 12 miles from the Candian border. Shuksan is a stunning 9,131-foot-high massif and one of the most photographed mountains in the north Cascades. #photography #summer #Cascades #notavolcano #lol #nikon #Z9

Fall colors from the Tipsoo lakes on the east side of Mt. Rainier. This is from October last fall. So blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the country. 😍 #photography #cascades #mtrainier #fallcolors #Nikon #Z9

I so love aircraft photography! Why I didn't become a pilot, I'll never know. I titled this one *minimums*. A little late for that but I like it😄 #Boeing #PaineField #photography #nikon #Z9 #B737 #PAE
