Thursday morning Lupine. #photography #bloomscrolling

Next to a fire, along a (once) glacier-fed river running thru a glacier carved valley, under the stars & the moon. I don’t always love sleeping in a tent on the ground, wondering at 3am “What’s that noise? Bear? Cougar? Cryptid?” It’s just a means in service of this end. #photography #backpacking

I bet if this guy owned a juice bar in Jersey City and Paulie Walnuts walked in and said “Nice little place you got here, be a shame if something happened to it.” he’d thank him for expressing his obviously very genuine concern that something might happen to his juice bar.

Heard of elk again, but in moving pictures. We startled each other as I was walking down the trail & I thought I had a nice video of them crossing en masse ahead of me but I guess I didn't touch the little red circle correctly. Olympic National Park. #wildlife

Falling water on the trail to and in Enchanted Valley, Olympic National Park. #WaterfallWednesday

The trail to Enchanted Valley isn’t a favorite but the destination is. 1 of 7 humans in the valley Sunday night. Cold (20F), campfires burning, warming, filling the air with thin smoke under a starry half-moonlit sky; snow fed waters falling, Quinault River rushing, lulling us to sleep. #photography

Cherry blossom and fern after morning rain. #photography #bloomscrolling

Odd couple. #photography #birds

A bald eagle, who know what it means to “rise and grind”, starts the day with a cold water plunge in Union Bay on a 40 degree morning. Look closely and you can see the tiny AirPods playing biohacking podcasts. Shot handheld, tired arms made miss miss takeoff. #wildlife #birds #baldeagle #pnw

Bald eagle doing a Neo as an osprey dive bombs. Annoyed at the too slow SS for the osprey, but it was fun to watch. #photography

Saw crows and gulls harassing a bald eagle this morning, followed on my bike until the eagle alit to eat whatever it had taken that the other birds were so angry about. Didn’t notice in the interim I’d knocked my aperture up and SS down, so suboptimal shots of an osprey dive-bombing. #photography

Mt Rainier in the morning sky. #mountainsout #photography

Mt Rainier and cherry blossoms, Tuesday morning. #mountainsout #photography

Cherry blossoms with American flag at the Ballard locks. #photography

It's never a bad morning ride if you come back with cherry blossoms stuck to your tires. #bikesky #photography
