We love to photograph Hummingbirds. In our area we mostly encounter Anna’s. Their vibrant colors and feisty nature make them a personal favorite.

We chased the Aurora four times in the past week. By the last night we were both catastrophically tired... and yet we ventured out again… and four the fourth time in a row we found it!
The magic of watching the dancing lights from deep in the Mt. Hood wilderness was absolutely incredible and something we will never forget.

The wildflowers were truly stunning this year. We did multiple hikes out in the gorge and took a quick trip up to Leavenworth for Shawneen’s birthday.

2025 at the tulips involved over 30k photos. Beautiful birds on tulips, sunny skies and the wonderful hot air balloons!

We left in the middle of the night to experience this beautiful morning on Mt. St. Helens We were lucky enough to find some wildflowers and to have such a pretty sunrise!

We visited the East bank Esplanade hoping for an amazing sunset, while that never materialized we did find the rose festival carnival lights which made for some fun photos.

We spent one evening and one morning at Great Sand dunes. while we did not have time for the 6+ hour hike to the top of the dunes we still have a blast and got some awesome photos!

It was extremely cold and a bitter wind only furthered the chill. The frozen falls were magic though!

Some stormy skies in 2022 made for some pretty incredible light at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival!

We ventured around Bryce and did a little hike. At sunset we were gifted beautiful clouds and amazing light.

The yearly smelt run brings all sorts of visitors to the mouth of the river, drawing in sea lions and all sorts of birds who feast upon the bountiful fish.

Fall brings the most stunning colors to the Japanese gardens. Eruptions of reds, oranges and yellows amongst the vibrant forest greens

Spring brings Cherry blossoms to Waterfront park. For a brief couple of weeks the trees erupt with blossoms and the crowds appear to enjoy their beauty.

This trip to the Dahlias ended up being all about the macro photography. Bugs and blooms made for a wonderful day!

There is a fun little wildlife area a short drive from our house. we visit often and find all sorts of great birds!

We took a quick daytrip to Cannon Beach and after a wonderful stroll along the beach we found some ice cream and then returned to haystack rock for a pretty epic sunset!
