Happy international cat day. This is Albert, my favorite cat. To be clear, he’s not mine, he’s my daughter’s but he lives with for quite awhile and invigorated the whole house. He’s very photogenic, naughty, sweet and snuggly! He made me feel a little bit younger!

This image was captured during a pilgrimage of sorts… to the stunning Wind River Range of Wyoming. I’d been to the winds a couple times before, both over 30 years ago. They may be my favorite backpacking location in the lower 48 states. This time I was fortunate to be joined by my amazing wife!

“Owyhee River Sunrise”. Here’s another new image Oregon’s stunning Owyhee Canyonlands. The textures and color in this basin is like nothing else I’ve seen in my home state of Oregon!

Recently returned from Oregon’s amazing Owyhee Canyonlands. This remote area of Oregon has some the most amazing scenery in the US. This new image is of Chalk Basin, on the Owyhee. Alternating layers of marine sediment and rhyolite/Basalt account for the stunning stratification.

Happy New Year to my Bluesky friends! A couple mornings ago I was fortunate enough to find myself atop of Smith Rock State Park near Bend, Oregon. I arrived to a dense fog inversion and climbed above the fog just in time for sunrise!

A promising weather forecast for yesterday morning prompted me to drive 30 minutes from my home in Bend, Oregon to Smith Rock State Park and climb via the Misery Ridge Trail to capture this stunning sunrise, featuring Smith Rock, the Crooked River and the Oregon Cascades. Please comment and Share!

As it is currently dumping snow on us here in Bend, Oregon, I thought it would be a good time to share a wintry image of Bend's iconic, 100 foot tall Tumalo Falls in its winter dress.

"Wallowa Lake Sunrise" Eastern Oregon's Wallowa mountains are one of the 7 wonders of Oregon! I'm excited to share the fact that this image and many other metal prints are now part of the permanent collection at University of Oregon's Knight Law Center! Stop by and see them in the UO Library!

"Oregon's Three Sisters". These 10,000 foot volcanoes are the centerpiece of Oregon's Three Sisters Wilderness Area. I've lived in Central Oregon for over 25 years and this grouping of alpine wildflowers is the best foreground I've found for the Sisters to date! I hope you enjoy this new image!

"Oregon Larch Grove", Shevlin Park, Bend, Oregon. With autumn fading, the last of our fall color in Central Oregon emanates from our native larch trees, a deciduous coniferous variety which turns golden in late autumn. #Oregon #larchtrees #fallcolor #landscapephotography

"North Santiam River in Autumn" As a winter storm descends on Oregon, I offer this last breathe of Autumn. I love the flow pattern as well as the intricate details in leaves and rocks in large prints of this image. Please let me know what you think by commenting below and follow for more of my work!

Three Fingered Jack, Oregon Cascades. Autumn is my favorite season. The flourish of color, the beautiful sunsets and the crisp nights. Hikers and backpackers are well aware of this beautiful mountain while others are amazed to know it is in Oregon! If you've visited this mountain, please repost!

"Mt Bachelor Reflection" This landscape photograph is for the snow riders in Bend, Oregon enjoying an early opening at our local ski resort, Mt Bachelor! This image was captured at Todd Lake, on the Cascade Lakes Highway, about 25 minutes from the city of Bend. #MtBachelor #BendOregon #winter #snow

"Deschutes River Reflection" I've been to this spot on the Deschutes River Trail countless times in the past and never had success. I knew I'd need interesting clouds, a windless day when this gorgeous aspen grove was at the peak of fall color. #bendoregon #landscapephotography #oregon

First post!!! I'm wrapping up the fall photography season here in Bend, Oregon and I thought this new photo of the Metolius River would be a good way to share something beautiful.
