Mt. Hood Wildflowers
These Mt. Hood wildflowers are just next to the spectacular Zig Zag canyon on the southwest side of the mountain. My friend Ron and I had hiked about two miles west of Timberline Lodge on the Timberline Trail to find a good spot for some sunset images. We were finally rewarded with the Mt. Hood […]
Alpine Glow
The lovely alpine glow of Mt. Hood presented itself on the last day of August 2012. Later in the evening the alpine glow gave way to a new moon which, because it was the second moon of the month, became the ‘Blue Moon’ . This image was made up along the Lolo Pass Road in […]

This location is approximately 2 miles from Timberline Lodge just before the trail goes down and across Zigzag canyon. We were here for sunset pictures of Mt. Hood. We were through with sunset on the mountain when […]

There was next to no wind and the Columbia Gorge Broad-leaf Lupine and the Northwestern Balsamroot […]

This hang glider struck a perfect pose for me in this sunset image over the rolling hills of the Dalles Mountain State Park. Part of the Columbia Hills State Park, this time of the year the hillsides are covered with an broad array of wild flowers. They are simply beautiful with every shade of the […]
New Moon – Cannon Beach
I captured this image of the new moon over Cannon Beach on a trip my wife and I took Thanksgiving weekend of 2011 to Canon Beach on the Oregon Coast. Ecola State Park is nearby and is a favorite of mine for dramatic seascapes. I went there hoping for a nice colorful sunset but that […]
