Standing behind this waterfall under the rock shelf meant being out of the rain, but the powerful Seljalandsfoss is 200 feet tall and produces a lot of mist. My camera and I got pretty wet, but it was worth it to be able to experience this close up.

This is one of the first things I saw in Iceland, and I immediately knew this was a very unique country. The crazy green water in this volcanic crater contrasting with the sky really blew me away.

Zion has many amazing spots, and this place is no exception. The bridge over the river provides the perfect viewpoint to take in the sunset and see all the dramatic beauty that Zion has to offer.

Today is World Turtle Day, and to celebrate, check out this green turtle I encountered while snorkelling in Hawaii. I hadn’t seen very much until this guy started swimming towards me! I could almost hear him say “You lookin’ at me?” but I think he just caught his reflection in my lens and wanted to have a look. This left me with a great opportunity for a close up!

A rainy day and all things are green. Spring time means everything is growing and bright green on the rolling hills of Henry Coe State Park.

Hiking in the rain can be fun. Sure you get wet. Sure you worry about your photography gear. Maybe you sink your shoes in the mud. You can also be rewarded with not only wildflowers but also raindrops that are well placed on their petals.

Sunrise photos take work. Sometime it is just getting up when you don’t want to, but this time it was standing around in some chilly weather waiting for the sun to show up that took effort. The clouds were low on the horizon so it took a little extra time for the sun to find a gap in the clouds and light up the icicles just right.

It has been feeling a lot like an early summer recently, so what better way to celebrate than showing off this wall of intense green in Fern Canyon?!?

Grace Cathedral gets all decked up for Christmas, including a clever banner that lets you know it is the season of joy!

This might not be what you think of during the summer, but this was a common scene when I was a kid. Corn lined the country roads as far as you could see. Later this week is the last day of summer, which brought back memories of days that looked a lot like this.
