Along The TrailA beautiful mountain lake high in the alpine wilderness of Montana's Glacier National Park

Adams in Washington state on a chilly fall morning

Hood in Oregon

Twilight falls on the southwest desert in New Mexico bringing the eerie landscape to life

Rainier National Park before the spring thaw changes the view

A river of lava runs beneath my feet and pours into the ocean

To get to this composition I had to shimmy out on a tiny ledge 15 feet off the ground and hold my camera out to the side

and achingly beautiful

Erosion patterns in Arizona combine fascinating colosr and textures which makes for abundant opportunities to create abstract images

Taken on my first real photography trip

the sun angle

After taking a few frames

But my tripod ballhead failed right when I got to this magical location in Arizona
