Wind-shaped Monterey cypress with a wide, flattened canopy and twisting trunks, growing on a coastal hillside beneath a pale blue sky.

Most people go to Pfeiffer Beach for the pink sand. I spent most of my time with this wind-shaped cypress instead.

Close-up photograph of weathered wood with flowing, wave-like grain patterns, deep cracks, and layered textures in muted gray and brown tones.

Wood waves. Beautiful how the same patterns repeat everywhere, isn’t it?

Low-contrast ocean landscape along the California coast, with soft, misty light blending sea and sky.

I quietly sat and waited for the moment a wave met the rock at the center of the frameβ€”now hidden. The California coast has a way of rewarding patience.

Waterfall on the Olympic Peninsula. I experimented with exposure times and landed on this oneβ€”soft flow, but with individual streams still visible. How do you like to photograph moving water?

Fog drifts over a wide river on the Olympic Peninsula, with dark, fast-moving water in the foreground and a rocky riverbank leading to leafless and late-autumn trees fading into mist. Muted greens, grays, and soft gold tones dissolve into the fog, obscuring the forested hills beyond.

Anyone else settling into a photographic theme this year?
I didn’t plan one, but fog keeps showing upβ€”here's to 2026!

Moss-covered trees and dense green understory in the Hoh Rainforest, with soft light and mist filtering through the canopy in Olympic National Park.

Moss-covered trees and dense green understory in the Hoh Rainforest, with soft light and mist filtering through the canopy in Olympic National Park.

Everyone visits the Hoh Rainforest in summer. But its true character lives in the wet months. Temperate rainforests are built on moisture and shadeβ€”conditions that turn fallen trees into nurseries and forests into layered systems of life.

Foggy mountain landscape in the Pacific Northwest, with tall evergreen trees fading into mist and soft gray clouds obscuring the distant ridgeline.

Yes, living in the PNW can be dreary. It's wet, gray, and relentless. But it’s also atmospheric, contemplative, and breathtaking in ways that sunnier places never are.

Waterfall, Oahu, Hawaii

Waterfall, Oahu, Hawaii

A bright wave crashes down on the rocks
shattering into a thousand drops,
free at last in clouds of steam,
drifting towards a new beginning.

A wide view of the Cinder Cone area in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The foreground shows dark, porous volcanic cinder slopes with a shallow crater holding patches of late-season snow. Beyond the cone, reddish-brown volcanic ridges stretch across the scene, also dotted with white snowfields. In the distance, forested mountains rise toward a clear, pale-blue sky.
