Apologies for the short post this week (hey, at least I remembered this time!).  With the holiday last week, and with many summer activities otherwise drawing my attention, I didn't post many pictures to Instagram or 500px. (more…)

This week was a little better!  I saw increased engagement, and I even have a new inductee to the 100 Club!  I think I've finally figured out the secret, and I really should have known: my own engagement makes my account more visible.  I made a point this week if…

#NoRegrets. We climbed up #waterfalls and peeked under mossy logs. The #PacificNorthwest is such a beautiful place, and I never get bored! Even if the hike is a little crazy and the company even more so! ... Who do you like hiking with? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018

#NoRegrets. We drove everywhere in #Norway! It's such a #beautifulcountry, and we couldn't help but stop every hundred yards or so to take more photos. This meant we didn't get to drive quite as far north as we originally wanted, but what we did see was worth every moment. Besides, we can't see it all in one trip; we need an excuse to go back! ...

#NoRegrets. Venturing down to the river that runs in front of #Zion's Watchman, I found I quite liked the view of the closer rock face. While everyone else was focused on the iconic formation, I couldn't help shooting everything in all directions. #ZionNP is too beautiful not to! ...

#NoRegrets. After we arrived in #Norway, we were stranded for a bit in #Kyrping waiting for a friend's luggage. Fortunately, the spot was spectacularly beautiful, and we had so many #seagulls to keep us company. One even decided to dive-bomb me repeatedly as I walked to the end of the pier. The water there was also perfectly still, so I had fun photographing the mirrored images. ... Have you ever been stuck somewhere because the airline lost your bag?

#NoRegrets. While enjoying the views all around you, don't forget to look down! I loved the simple patterns of the steps highlighted by colorful #fallenleaves. Beauty was literally all around. ... How do you like to enjoy #fallcolors?

#NoRegrets. After a long day of hiking near #MountAdams, we ventured down into the valley to capture some #fallcolors. It was a beautiful day, and the lighting was simply superb. It was more than worth the extra hour or so before returning home, and it wound up being the highlight of the day! ...

#NoRegrets. I simply love #fallcolors, and I almost completely missed them due to my busy busy life. But even the drive out to this hike near #MtAdams was awash in reds and golds, so I quickly forgot my to-do list. I'm glad we stopped on the way in, as the lighting was better than when we left, and this tiny copse of trees was perfect to photograph. ... Which is your favorite season?

#NoRegrets. This image was shot off the side of the road on our way to scope out #fallcolors near #MtAdams in #WashingtonState. We drove across a cute little bridge, briefly espied this lovely stream, then immediately stopped to backtrack. So worth the detour! ...

#NoRegrets. Some hikes take us to #waterfalls. Some hikes take us behind waterfalls. This one took us *up* waterfalls. There wasn't much trail to be had, so we scrambled up along the banks from one system to the next. The entire stretch was gorgeous and totally worth nearly falling in on a number of occasions! ... What is the craziest hike you've done? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
