I decided to drop in on Mount Rainier this weekend, hoping to catch some light. I have been here many times, and the moutain as always eluded me. After I had taken my shots that I wanted, I stood there in silence just taking in the view. Even thought there were other people around, I felt like it was just me and the mountain. We were finally at peace.

This immature Bald Eagle was coming into a carcass (off camera right) for some dinner. The sun lit him up beautifully.

A quick stop in the morning to capture a favourite spot yesterday while it was snowing.

I see a climbing man on the branch.
This service berry tree was shocked by near zero temperatures and champagne powder snowfall. 1st frost was over 4 months ago, however, most of the days have been unseasonably warm, which fooled this and many other plants into beginning their spring growth.

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.

Taken during the March 2016 storm. I find the green colours appealing, particularly with the melting white snow which seems to highlight the green.

Taken in April 2002, and yes they survived!

Denver, the winter weather Rodney Dangerfield of large cities in the USA. View out through our front window onto Green Valley Ranch street of blizzard snows blowing across streets and, due to stickiness, building up on tree branches out of the gusty winds.

So glad to have captured many shots of this particular site as it is not longer in existence, being replaced with housing.

I had an amazing experience on Friday, I tracked down and followed a herd of wild horses and was eventually accepted into the group. I spent the entire afternoon walking with them in the foothills of the Alberta Rockies surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery Alberta has to offer, this was a once in a lifetime experience to be surrounded by wild horses and move with them in their natural habitat.

Couldn't resist stopping for a shot with the snow coming down

1st decent sunset in months, photography wise anyway.

I collect Snow Babies for many reason, one is how I can always relate to them about my own babies (who are adults). There is always one to the back that has a Star to represent my angel in heaven Star.

Female Bald Eagle staring me down.

A Redtail Hawk as it takes off from its perch.

Out on my usual shooting adventure the other day. This guy was out in the snow covered sage, hunting I presume.

We had to drive to my hometown of Squaw Valley, CA. While there we noticed the surrounding mountains full of snow. We drove about 10 mins and came upon this area. He had never seen falling snow before. This photo perfectly captured the moment.

Stopped to watch some deer in the sage. Noticed the horses, as they started towards me. The black certainly was in a hurry to get some petting.

Here in Central Washington, farms are now covering the historic wintering grounds for the elk. So, they feed them alfalfa hay during the winter behind fences that keep them out of the valley and destroying the hay fields and fences. We call them Welfare Elk..

This almost mature eagle was sitting in the diffused sunlight, wings spread open, drying out.

I love the expression on it`s face!

This was taken using 9 bracketed shot as it was almost total darkness.
