TWO5: 10/22/18
Happy Monday, all! Once again, we've survived another week. But I'm feeling good (cue driving guitar hits by Muse (my favorite version)). The weather in the Pacific Northwest has been simply superb for autumn photographing (look for a post on that later this week); the rains haven't quite settled in yet. …
Biweekly Wow: Pacific Northwest Sunset
I only have one more post planned for Norway, but I'm taking a break this week to share something a bit closer to home. We went backpacking this summer in the spectacularly beautiful Olympic National Park, one of our closest national parks. (Fun fact: from Portland, Olympic National Park and…
Biweekly Wow: Bryce Canyon’s Fire & Ice
About two months later, and we're finally to Part II of our little trip to Bryce and Zion National Parks. Much like Yosemite, we ventured out to these parks in late winter not only to avoid crowds but also in the hopes of finding snow. We were pretty disappointed in…
Phono Photos: Moon
This month was a bit slow with submissions, but I love the response! Stay tuned for the next prompt in a few weeks. (more…)

This Week on Instagram: 2/10/17

Puebloan Sun and Moon
Being a photographer, of course I had certain plans on my agenda when we went to Mesa Verde (and really throughout our trip). Wherever I go, I think about sunrise and sunset opportunities. Every location is different, and I love the beautiful golden hours. I try for sunrises and sunsets…
Weekly Challenge: Mixed Shine
If I thought last week's challenge was.. well.. challenging, this week's really made me think hard about how to fit the topics. The discover challenge is mixing media; the photo challenge is shine. "Shine" is easy. But I already write blog posts with lots of pictures - words and photos…
Hawaii: Wrapping Up
For those who have been getting tired of all the Hawaii posts, I have good news! I should have only one more post on it next week to wrap up our last day there. For those who love all things Hawaii and can't get enough, I have good news! I…
