Covered in moss and covered in light makes for quite the combo.

Hiking up and down the hills of Butano State Park led to lots of different climates in a short distance. This particularly misty section was beautiful and thick with a green covering on the floor of the forest.

The clouds were breaking up and some very late fall colors were still hanging on. Everything lined up to give this shot a whole lotta things going on!

I love trails like this. The brightly lit green of the trees almost makes it feel like you are walking through a tunnel in the forest.

We spent our days in the sun on the beach, but we spent our nights in this cozy little place under the glow of the night sky.

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.

Ski trips for me usually combine two things I enjoy, skiing and photography. On this trip to Jackson both the skiing and the photos were excellent. This moose, who stationed himself outside our house and kept an eye on us the whole time, was happy to pose for photos as long as you didn’t get too close. I’m hoping the next trip will have both great skiing and great photos!

I’m a fan of sunstars and like to incorporate them in a photo whenever I can. This time I was able to get Coit Tower reaching for the clouds and a sunstar shining down all at the same time! Success!

I don’t always give my photos the black and white treatment, but when I do I make sure they are spooky like these trees. What made this hike unique was the mix of sun and fog. I didn’t take many pictures of the sun, but these trees in the fog caught my eye.

I went to Oregon for the nature, but sometimes the man made objects are just as interesting. This bridge was old, but the asphalt was new and the centerline was a nice complement to the bright green trees above.
