#NoRegrets. We busted the doors at the #SeattleJa #NoRegrets. We busted the doors at the #SeattleJapaneseGarden, and it's so good that we did! We chatted up a another doorbuster (and now new friend @jimnix), and for a while, we had the garden all to ourselves. Bonus: there was just enough cloud cover to make for perfect lighting. Photographically speaking, it's always worth getting up early! ... Have you been to a #Japanesegarden? What was it like? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. Even though we were just barely too la #NoRegrets. Even though we were just barely too late for the #predawn light above #SeattleWA, I made the most of the available scene. The fog even later cleared, but I kind of like this eerie shroud. ... Do you like foggy weather? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. I simply love my big 70-200mm lens. #NoRegrets. I simply love my big 70-200mm lens. It's wonderfully sharp, and it lets me zoom in close. However, that sucker is *heavy*. And when we're talking a hike scaling up a mountain with loads of other gear already on my back, it's difficult to justify. However, there have been times when I wish I had it. In this instance, I was actually glad to have it in my bag, as I was able to capture this detail shot of #MtAdams. It might be heavy, but I love the pictures it takes. ... What frivolous hiking gear do you just have to have with you? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. I took soooo many pictures in #BryceC #NoRegrets. I took soooo many pictures in #BryceCanyonNationalPark. Between the #hoodoos and the snow, the trails and the rich red rock, I was tickled pink just being there! Of course, that meant I had a lot to edit when I got back home, but every shot was well worth the extra work. This world truly is a #beautifulplace. ... What is the most beautiful place you know? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. Most #Norwegianviewpoints had little #NoRegrets. Most #Norwegianviewpoints had little trails spidering away from the roadside placards. My explorative instincts would immediately kick in, and I'd just *have to know* what was at the end of the trail. While others were shooting pictures, I dashed down the path for as far as I dared.. and I was never disappointed. ... Where do you love to explore? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. I just couldn't get enough of this #Br #NoRegrets. I just couldn't get enough of this #BryceAmphitheater. At all times of the day, it was mesmerizing. We really lucked out on our timing. We were able to catch some snow from a recent storm, but we left just before the area was hit by another. It was even clear enough to hike many of the trails! Now I can't wait to go back and explore the rest. ... Where is your favorite place to hike? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. It's really hard waking up early when #NoRegrets. It's really hard waking up early when you're on vacation. It's even more difficult when you know there's nothing but #icycold awaiting you. But #BryceCanyonNationalPark is a #spectacularplace, so every moment we could spend in sight of this beautiful amphitheater was worth every frozen toe. We were there for each sunrise, and we stayed long enough to capture sunset. Totally worth it. ... What will you get up early for? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. I never like hauling my big bazooka l #NoRegrets. I never like hauling my big bazooka lens; it takes up a lot of space, and it's terribly heavy. But I'm always thankful to have it on-hand when cuties like these make an appearance! ... These #bighornsheep surprised us on the #CanyonOverlook trail in #ZionNP after a failed attempt at sunrise. We were happy with how the morning ultimately turned out! ... What piece of equipment has saved you on the trail? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We got up super early on our last day #NoRegrets. We got up super early on our last day in #SeattleWA, and I was thrilled to see the sky would make for the perfect #sunriseoverthecity. However, by the time we got set up, a fog had obscured the entire view below. We waited it out, and it eventually cleared. The best light was gone by then, but I'm still pleased by the resultant images. ... What are sunrises like in your area? Do you get to see them often? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
