I'm a recovering IT employee using more time with family, nature, and music as therapy. I love being in nature and share images from my outings in color and infrared black and white. https://www.gregvaughn.net

Here is another view of Mt Rainier from one of the great trails in this park. If you enjoy hiking and are looking for some family friendly trails this park is a great option. Keep in mind you are on a mountain. You will be hiking up. Enjoy!!

Here is one of many views of Mt. Rainier from the trail. As I hiked the various trails at this National Park seeing this mountain at nearly every turn of the trail was a treat. Enjoy!

Here are two photographs of Old Faithful from my trip to Yellowstone National Park last fall. The black and white version is in infrared. I like the way it emphasized the textures in the water, and the way the spray contrasts with the dark sky. Enjoy!

We saw a lot of wildlife on last fall's trip to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. It was really cool to see the bison at Yellowstone. Enjoy!

Just another morning drive in West Yellowstone along the Madison River at sunrise. Pure magic! Enjoy!

No kidding!! Thank you for the comment! BTW - I did get to see some of your prints at the Ansel Adamโ€™s Gallery last April. I had just missed your exhibit, but when I asked, they took me into a back room to show some of your work they still had on hand for packing/shipping.

Another arctic front is making it's way south through the US and will get into our normally warmer south Texas area around mid-week so freezing temps in our forecast makes me think of my trip to the Faroe Islands last year. Enjoy!

Nothing original here but you have to admit it is a gorgeous view! One wonderful thing about photography is it provides an easy pathway to memories of past experiences and wonderful time spent outdoors with good friends.

I like to have the occasional night out under the stars to photography the Milky Way. These Milky Way photos are blended with 30 stacked exposures of the Milky Way to remove noise, and foregrounds shot earlier. If you look closely you can see headlamps from campsites in the peaks of Mt. Rainier.

Iโ€™ve been listening to this one just a little after Matt started it. The podcast has come a long way over the years. Itโ€™s worth browsing as there are some real gems in the catalog.

I find that the only people that worry about โ€œthe iconsโ€ are photographers. The non-photographers that follow me could care less. These sites are typically an icon for a reason, and I enjoy seeing them and photographing them for myself.

Here are some different interpretations of Narada Falls from Mr. Rainier National Park. There is a lot of hidden beauty within the details of any waterfall. Enjoy!

We had several amazing encounters with local wildlife in the Grand Teton NP that highlighted the trip. Each encounter left us with great stories to share. Enjoy!

It was my first time for the wildflower bloom too. Itโ€™s in my plans to get back there again.

I understand why you would miss it! Hopefully you can still visit.

I loved this view at Mt. Rainier National Park where the yellow flowers running down the face of the rock wall seemed to mirror the water streaming down the wall to provide an interesting contrast. Enjoy!

The scene from the Faroe Islands is dominated by a massive snow covered mountain rising from the cold dark blue Atlantic Ocean with with a gorgeous waterfall in the center of the scene streaming into the ocean.

This image is clearly not from our Houston area, but it was really refreshing to wake to anywhere from 1"-3" of snow around the metro area this morning.

Full view of the stunning Narada Falls waterfall surrounded by black rock on the sides, and with a foreground full of wet, fresh greenery and white flowers.

One feature that I loved about Mt. Rainer NP was the waterfalls, which are fed by glaciers and snow melt. Hereโ€™s a full-view shot of Narada Falls. Enjoy!

Your Alt-Txt entry is perfect. Thank you! Is it more of a standard practice to enter Alt-Txt on Blue Sky?

Early morning scene between blue hour and golden hour with pink and purple flowers in the foreground curving around a lake in the mid ground with Mount Rainier emerging from the clouds in the background.

I enjoyed a week of photography during last summer's wildflower season at Mount Rainier National Park.
