Wallula Gap Hike
A slideshow of photographs from a 6 mile hike yesterday by the Columbia Basin Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society. We walked the animal trails over glacial fields and shrub-steppe – up, up and up some more to be rewarded with a beautiful vista view of the Columbia river and Wallula Gap below. You’ll […]
Native Plant Appreciation Week
A friend an I joined up with a local group of hikers to take in wildflowers and native grasses among shrub steppe and vistas created by the Ice Age Floods above Wallula Gap. A flock of pelicans flew over every once in a while, as if to check on our progress up the ridges. I’ve […]

This was the 49th annual Rocky Boy Pow Wow and my first. I was in awe of the heart, soul and beauty of those participating in the celebration of their heritage, young and old. Best viewed in 720hd.
Shy Farm Boy
Wow! Over three months since last post. What a fantastic summer it has been. Been busy shooting, but not blog posting. Here’s one to get me started with catching up. This is Teague, who was a model at a photography event I attended in August at Dog Mountain Farms near Carnation, WA. He was NOT […]
Beautiful Days of Autumn
Most of the leaves have fallen from the trees around here, and a chill is in the air. I did manage to get out with my camera before fall’s glory faded into the gray skies of winter. These were taken at a favorite spot of mine to visit because it’s close to home, peaceful, beautiful […]
Karlie & Diego
Wow, it’s almost time for another Montana journey, and I haven’t yet had time to process my favorites from the last recent trip. Here are a few from a session with Karlie & Diego in July. I love spending time with Karlie and her horses. They’re so friendly and fun. The mosquitoes were not friendly […]

Autocross

Fish For Dinner
I paid a visit to my favorite osprey nest while on a Saturday evening hike yesterday. The nest is at the end of Chamna Natural Preserve and overlooks the Yakima River. Looks like I showed up just in time for dinner. Momma was on the nest with the chicks and papa showed up with this […]
Shooting the Moon
My friend Tina called me tonight to tell me about a big fat beautiful moon rise taking place on the southeast horizon as we spoke. So after making lunch plans for later in the week with her, I headed down the highway and found a nice high spot to take this photo of the full […]
Pretty Windy
June has brought us a lot of cool and overcast days with some rain and lots of wind. I got tired of waiting around for the wind to die down and decided to get out and take a look at it from my side of the camera lens. I discovered that the wind I normally […]
