A bit more uphill before the top. Hope everyone has a great day. Nature pic day 165 #nature #photography #hiking #columbiarivergorge #washingtonstate #photographersofbluesky #outside #pnw #eastcoastkin #hikingtrail #landscape

Spent a few wonderful days at the beach last week. Had beautiful weather and mostly empty beaches. Have a great day Nature photo day 164 #nature #photography #waterwednesday #hiking #outside #eastcoastkin #reflections #beach #oregoncoast #photographersofbluesky #clouds #landscapephotography #pnw

Always nice to have spectators on my hikes. Enjoy your Tuesday Nature pic day 163 #nature #photograph #twosday #eastcoastkin #hiking #backpacking #enchantments #wildlife #outside #photographersofbluesky #washingtonstate

A smokey Mt Jefferson. Even with smoke Jeff Park is such a beautiful area. Have a wonderful Monday. Nature photo day 162 #nature #photography #mountainmonday #blueskymonday #landscapephotography #eastcoastkin #oregon #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #outside #hiking #landscape #backpacking

Had a different pic for today but after reading about 47 kicking the Iran hornets nest, for seemingly no reason, I needed something more calming. Hang in there everyone. Nature photo day 161 #nature #photograph #stunday #eastcoastkin #ocean #sunset #peace #nowar #photographersofbluesky #oregon

Maybe a bit too #narrow going to have to find another way around. Hope you have a fun weekend. Nature photo day 160 #nature #photograph #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin #hiking #Nevada #outside #desert #adventure #photographersofbluesky #slotcanyons

A bit late for most of the wildflowers but still was a beautiful hike. Open rolling hills and great views. Have an enjoyable Friday. Nature photo day 159 #nature #photography #fencepostfriday #columbiarivergorge #grasslands #eastcoastkin #hiking #photographersofbluesky

A short drive east to the mountains or west to the beach. We live in such a great place. Hope that everyone has an amazing day Nature photo day 158 #nature #photography #beach #clouds #coast #eastcoastkin #pnw #oregon #scape #landscapephotography

Smith Rocks State Park holds so many memories. I always look forward to visiting. Hope that you have a memorable day. Nature photo day 157 #nature #photoghraph #waterwednesday #hiking #landscapephotography #river #reflection #eastcoastkin #oregon #pnw #photographersofbluesky

Add two cold drinks and you have the perfect place to watch the world go by. Have a peaceful day Nature photo day 156 #nature #photography #twosday #eastcoastkin #river #desert #landscapephotography #utah #clouds #photographersofbluesky

Valley hiking is fine but being higher gives you better views. Have a happy #mountainmonday! Nature photo day 155 #nature #photograph #eastcoastkin #mountains #trail #hiking #outside #wanderlust #blueskymonday #mtadams #washingtonstate #landscapephotography #photographersofbluesky

Back in the North Cascade NP for todays photo. Such an amazing place. Have a happy Fathers Day. Nature photo day 154 #nature #photography #scape #stunday #eastcoastkin #lake #mountains #outside #landscape #hiking #backcountry #alpine #northcascadenationalpark

The best scarecrow I have seen in a long time. Hope you have a great 'No Kings Day' and please stay safe Nature photo day 153 #nature #photography #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin #scarecrow #gardening #communitygarden #outside #joy #photographersofbluesky

A simple wildflower combo to hopefully brighten your Friday the 13th. Hope that you have a wonderful day. Nature photo day 152 #Nature #photography #bloomscrolling #wildflowers #flowerfriday #eastcoastkin #nativeplants #hiking #oregon #columbiarivergorge #blueskyphotographers #outside

Strawberries are in! Bring on the shortcake, ice cream and all of the other goodies that go with them. Hope you get to eat something taste today. Nature photo day 151 #nature #photographs #garden #homegrown #plants #photographersofbluesky

Such an amazing area and only a short hike from the road. Have a great day! Nature photo day 150 #nature #photograph #waterfall #eastcoastkin #waterfallwednesday #hiking #outside #Oregon #columbiarivergorge #landscape #creek #wahclellafalls #photographersofbluesky #humpday

I had a different photo picked for today but after reading about LA, and everything else, I needed something that brought me peace. Hang in there everyone.

Happy #mountainMonday everyone. Hope that you have a great one. Nature photo day 148 #nature #photograph #eastcoastkin #reflections #pnw #outside #mthood #hiking #landscapephotography #blueskymonday #photographersofbluesky #lake #mountains

Spring time in the #ColumbiaRiverGorge really can't be beat! Hope that you have a sunny Sunday. Nature photo day 147 #nature #photography #stunday #bloomscrolling #eastcoastkin #flowers #mountains #landscape #photographersofbluesky #hiking #pnw #landscapephotography #outside

Am always excited to find Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja spp) on my hikes. It is so beautiful and really stands out. Hope you can get outside today. Nature pic day 146 #nature #photograph #flower #bloomscrolling #wildflower #Vibrant #Blueskyartshow #hiking #outside #photographersofbluesky

Trail with a view. Always wonder how they cut trails like this and what was the first reaction when it was presented at the trail planning meeting. Happy #fencepostFriday Nature photo day 145 #nature #photography #eastcoastkin #pnw #outside #columbiarivergorge #landscapephotography #rivers #hiking

Is 'tight fit Thursday' a thing? Exploring Spooky Shot Canyon in Grand Staircase-Escalante. So much fun. Hope you have an enjoyable day Nature photo day 144 #nature #photograph #outside #photographersofbluesky #landscapephotography #eastcoastkin #hiking #utah #slotcanyons #wildplaces

It may be an adventure to get too but Abiqua Falls is well worth the trip. Hope you have an adventurous day (in a good way). Nature photo day 143 #nature #photography #waterfallwednesday #landscapephoto #creek #outdoors #eastcoastkin #oregon #pnw #river #photographersofbluesky #hiking

Seems like this might be a good pic to say something about fairies, but sadly nothing is coming to mind. Hope you have a magical day.

This trail has my favorite view of Mt Hood, my favorite mountain. It is a new week, hope that you have a good one. Nature photo day 141 #nature #photography #mountainmonday #eastcoastkin #outside #hiking #mountains #pnw #blueskymonday #photographersofbluesky #Oregon

Driving to a hike I came around the corner and saw this. Had to pull over and take the shot. The clouds eventually burned off and we had a great hike. Hope that your Sunday is a good one. Nature photo day 140 #nature #photography #stunday #eastcoastkin #clouds #pnw #hiking #photographersofbluesky

"I'd like to be, under the sea" Happy Saturday! #blueskyartshow theme is #underneath Nature photo day 139 #nature #photo #fish #aquarium #eastcoastkin #photographersofbluesky #water

Remembering this beautiful day in the mountains makes me smile. Hope that today is good for you. Nature pic day 138 #nature #photography #scape #eastcoastkin #mountains #hiking #washingtonstate #photographersofbluesky #pnw #landscapephotography #outside #naturephotography

Pacific Waterleaf flower (Hydrophyllum tenuipes). To me it looks like fireworks or maybe something alien. Have a wonderful day. Nature photo day 137 #nature #photography #bloomscrolling #mayblooms #delicate #flower #hiking #pnw #photographersofbluesky #naturephotography #eastcoastkin #outside
