Arête ridge in the Teanaways. Memorial Day weekend hike to peep wildflowers ended up having bad lighting for the magical fields of wildflowers, but perfect lighting for dramatic black and white landscapes.

West Fork #Pasayten Valley as seen from a cold-war era radar installation-slash-fire lookout in the #northcascades of the #pacificnorthwest

Highest (and scariest) drivable location in Washington. 😰

Probably my favorite nature trip in WA. Sunrises and sunsets from a fire lookout before a northward trek on the #PCT toward the 🇨🇦 border.

#olympicnationalpark coast giving surreal vibes. Love the dreamlike, intimidating energy of this place during blue hour.

Perfect place to contemplate mortality and the destructive power of the Cascadia subduction zone (& somehow still be at peace).

I treated myself to a 14mm lens - first time taking it out. Can’t wait to take it to the backcountry.

I rarely take photos of the city, even though back in the Midwest, my home city was my primary subject.

Seattle doesn’t always match my #photography aesthetic, but there are some gems of opportunities out there.

Sunset beams poking through jagged peaks of the North Cascade range with Glacier Peak in the distance. Sunset glow and alpine larches at the crest of a pass in the North Cascades range of Washington. Sunrise glow on golden alpine larches in the North Cascades range. A man “praising the sun” in reference to the video game “Dark Souls” during sunrise in the North Cascades range of Washington.

Fallen tree that looks like a fantastical beast is blessed with an opportune beam of light on a gloomy day in the temperate coastal #rainforest of #OlympicNationalPark

Seattle is so vibrant on rare sunny spring days.
Orange tulips with a bokeh background of dandelions and other flowers. Cherry blossoms backlit by the sun. Cherry blossom tree against a yellow wooden fence. Pink and yellow flowers of a variety I do not know.
