A modern cri de coeur.

Someone has just had enough.

A fading hydrangea marks the end of summer.

“Dawn Tree”

tree silhouetted on a ridgeline against orange clouds

A lone tree colonizes the talus field beneath a decaying basalt cliff between Middle and South Sister.

Spotted on a walk around my neighborhood: an almost-hidden small rock painted in Oregon Ducks colors.

This little guy should turn into a Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, so I am glad he found his way off the sidewalk after I took the photo.

Hiking trip report: Foley Ridge and Beyond

“Flowing Clouds”

South Sister from Linton Meadows, long exposure illuminated by a combination of headlamp and moonlight. This cost me some sleep but it was so worth it.

Hiking the Foley Ridge Trail towards Middle Sister. I am so darned lucky to live in this neck of the woods.
