The water was insanely high during my last visit to Zion NP at The Court of the Patriarchs. It was much higher than what I’ve seen before. It set up a nice scene. #photography #landscapes #landscapephotography #reflection #morning #sunrise

This wouldn’t have been a “snow day” off from school where I grew up, but here in Western Oregon, it’s a free day. My daughter (left) and two friends, well, three friends in our front yard. . #snow #snowday #noschool #winter #oregon #photography

The “Pillars of Rome.” Rome, Oregon. Interesting pillar-like rock formations in the high desert of far eastern Oregon. This is much more impressive on a really big screen or print, but I thought it would be interesting to share. . #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #oregon #romeoregon

This surreal coloring was at 10:00 am (a couple of years ago), on our property. Those aren’t clouds, it’s smoke and a bizzare combination of wildfire and sunlight. I feel for those who are faced with the fires this month. It is incredibly scarey, yet those who could help more are playing politics.
