One day I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room

After hearing reports about the flowers blooming on St Helens, a few of my friends and I decided to head up.. The night was so clear and beautiful, it was the perfect evening

It's difficult to encapsulate Nassau in one shot, there were so many places to photograph and I can't upload them all. But mostly, to me, the simple colours are what make the place so lovely

This was such an amazing place!! It is one that you have to experience for yourself. There are just not words.. other than surreal.. to describe this place!! From the crunching of the crampons on the ice, to the huge crevasses.. there is just nothing like it!! It is 4 miles wide, and 27 miles long! It moves a foot and a half every day, and you can hear it moving, and calving in the distance.

This is the Milkyway over Mount Shuksan on Picture lake. We had started at the top of Baker, but quickly realized that the Milkyway would be almost directly over the mountain. We grabed our gear and headed to the lake. There were a few clouds surounding the mountain. We decided to wait it out, and eventually the clouds began to clear. As I stood there looking around, all I could see was the darkness of the night. It was so quite, the only thing you heard was silence. It almost gave me an erry feeling being out there. But it was also so peaceful. Sometimes we get caught up in trying to get the shot, we foreget to enjoy the moment. So, next time you are out shooting at night.. take a moment and listen to the night.

This is the majestic Mount Shuksan, in the Mount Baker area of the North Cascades. I had tried to hike this area in late May, but was unsuccessful. This time however, the roads were open. This was the first evening of a three day trip, we got to spend in this gorgeous area. There was still a fair amount of snow in the higher elevations, but will definitly go back to explore this area further.

As I viewed my images from the incredible weekend that I had, this particular image really stood out for me. It was the last image I took, before leaving the Alvord Desert in Oregon. We had only gotten about 3 hrs of sleep, but it was so worth getting up for. As I looked at the image, the clouds looked like a Phoenix rising up from the dry desert earth. The "Phoenix" is a symbol of a renewal or rebirth. It is a reminder to me, that no matter how far we fall, or how bad things get.... We all have the strength to rise again, and come out even stronger than we were!!

This was taken at Sparks Lake, Oregon. It was the most beautiful night I had seen in a while. There was not a cloud in the sky, and there seemed to be a million stars out. As we stood on the rocks, we noticed a campfire across the way. I thought to myself, what a beautiful night to be camping beneath the stars. Their fire seemed to make the trees glow with a brilliant orange. What an incredible night this turned out to be. We were even blessed to see the longest shooting start we had ever seeen. It was the perfect evening!!

I had been to Palouse Falls twice before. The skies were always not very favorable, but this time I hit it just right. As I stood looking at the scene, there seemed to be a peacefulness about it. It was a perfect ending to a very long week.

So intelligent, they see you early.

Just love these little guys. So fast and flighty!

Thought I'd go for something different than my usual flower shots

#lightingchallenge I took this photo under a shaded tree to avoid the direct sunlight. It was also a more overcast day, no intense sunlight. I used white reflectors to enhance the light. I placed one in her lap and the other was held next to the side of her face.

This is my one "archived" image... Whenever I think of the color blue, this image always crops up in my head. I was lucky enough to have it featured in the Beyond Wanderlust magazine as part of the Cities in Color Project.

One of the things I love most about the coastline where I live is the beautiful seacliffs...this was taken during the blue hour, just after the sun had done down and the sky went all pink and purple. Moments like these remind me why I love my camera so much.

No I did not color it. Yes it really is that blue.

This is for the Sunrise/sunset challenge.

On this particular day, the smoke from the fires had been really bad. We had wanted to go out shooting earlier in the day, but it was just too smokey. I had not totally given up hope, and thought that with all the smoke in the sky, that it could create a pretty sunset. So at the last minuet, we grabbed the gear, braved the smoke, and headed out. We were looking for the perfect spot, when we came upon these trees. We quickly pulled over, as we were running out of time. We only had just a few minutes to set up, before the sun started to set. Out of all the devastation the fires caused, it did make for some awesome sunsets.

Working on textures and backgrounds for some montages,

This is is a big part of my photo life, look on my gallery and you will see a vast range of styles and subjects, but at heart I wish to produce the best landscapes I can

I have lost count the amount of times I've stood along this stretch of coastline at stupid o'clock waiting for that ever elusive morning light
Often it fails to materialise, but once in a while, everything falls into place

One of my alltime favs.

When the Ocean is calm, or the tide is low, Thor's Well can seem very tame. But in a matter of moments, it can become a very dangerous place. While there is some risk being that close to it, I love feeling the power it has, and watching the waves come crashing in.

Normally this isn't my typical style of work, but I wanted to try something different. I was in the creative mood. This image was taken in Florence Oregon. We had gotten up early to catch a sunrise. But were instead, met with foggy and dark morning. I think that the fog, actually adds to the mood of the image.

Early morning sun over Santorini, Greece, creates a glow through the stained glass in blue cupola of neighborhood Greek Orthodox chapel.

Santorini Island, Greece, is famous for its blue domed, Greek Orthodox chapels nestled among it white washed homes and shops, which climb the steep sides of a still active volcanic caldera.

Well, took me ages but finally captured a falling droplet! never been so excited to capture water doing what it does best...fall to the ground!

What is up, must come down.

If you notice the previous photo of this young lady, this photo is maybe a fraction of a second later and gives a much more pleasing shot. Many thanks to Sarah Williams for her guidance.

Reach young oak,
Reddened by the sun,
Take the sky and hold it tightly,
make ready for winters come,
drop your acorns, hats and all
to litter the ground below you
tucked neatly folded
in your falling leaves
becoming possibility next season

This is a flower shot i made at the beginning of spring 2013 in a floral shop in York PA. Lighting was great,the colors popped like fireworks on the 4th of July.!

...and my obsession with bicycles continues...

Sometimes shooting in the opposite direction of the sunset yields nice results.

This is not a submission. This is an example.

While visiting family in Grand Isle, Louisiana, I spotted a field of Bluebonnets and slammed on the breaks! I had my daughter pick a few and I clicked away. I am a huge fan of adding fairies to little girl's portraits and this images was just begging for it! I hope you enjoy!

This is one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen, my camera, try as I might, just couldn't capture the true majesty of this particular end to a day.

Turkey vulture searching over the fresh cut fields for mice.

Water! From the sky! Hopefully this helps the spread of all the fires in my province right now. At least a little.

We need this rain so badly right now and I think I have never been so happy to see it rain so hard. This is a photo of rain falling on concrete, if that gives scale to just how hard it was coming down.

Shot this heron a couple of hours ago. Didn't know which of the seven clicks to use, so I used them all to show its flight path.

sometimes I have trouble choosing between colour and monochrome. In this case I am in a deadlock.

This fly would have drowned if not for science, instead it probably just got really dizzy spinning around and around and around and around... and around... The struggle was real.

I think these are called butterfly blossoms? Not sure but when I got in close I saw how spectacular they are individually even on such a small scale.

Both of my passions combined, bird-watching and photography! Doesn't get any better than this...
